In performing the test, plants are made every two and a half minutes up to and including fifteen minutes.

The mean of the two is the coefficient. The method of determining the coefficient will be seen in Table XIII. B. THE DETERMINATION OF THE COEFFICIENT WITH THE ADDITION OF ORGANIC MATTER It may be well to briefly discuss here the meaning or significance of the term " phenol coefficient," particularly when it is determined in the presence of organic matter. In general terms the coefficient.
