 the recovery curves for any solution after any length 

 of exposure. 



Lack of space prevents a tabulation of the observed

Pig. 68. — Curves showing the net electrical resistance (descending curve) of Laminaria 

 agardhii in a mixture containing 97.56 mols of NaCl to 2.44 mols of CaCh and recovery in aea 

 water (ascending curves). The figure attached to each recovery curve denotes the time of 

 exposure to the toxic solution. In the recovery curves the experimental results are shown by 

 the broken lines, the calculated results by the unbroken lines. The observed points represent 

 the average of six or more experiments. Probable error of the mean less than 10% of

 In general the agreement between observation and calcu- 

 lation is satisfactory for all the solutions employed in 

 the investigation.
