Fig. 75. — Curves showing antagoniBm between NaCl and cevadine sulfate. Ordinatea 

 represent net electrical resistance of Laminaria aaardhii (expreased as per cent, of the normal) ; 

 abscissee represent concentrations of cevadine sulfate added to 0.52 M NaCl. The resistance 

 of the control at 150 minutes was 100%. Average of two experiments; probable error of the 

 mean less than 5% of the mean. 



ing the day at 15 ±2°, and the time curves in the various 

 solutions follow more or less closely a monomolecular 

 course. In the case of nicotine and caffeine (where the 

 experiment ran during the day and the following night) 

 this is not the case, except in the earlier part of the reac-
