To just what extent the oil with which the specimens were coatedhas interfered with the value of the tests is difficult to say, but it wouldappear that very little harm will come to the parts of the specimens coveredwith oil, unless it arises from the action of the oil itself. While, at this time, it seems hardly advisable to offer an opinion as to thecomparative quality of the various specimens, or even to imply that thesetest piers have, as yet, definitely proved any action or non-action of seawater, it seems reasonable to call attention to the fact that specimens Numbers2, 3, 14, 16 and 18 show little or no efi^ect from their twelve years [8- ACTION O F SEA W A T E R O N CONCRETE
