Chick 240 (2) General conclusions upon disinfection ivitli phenol. Disinfection with phenol may in general be considered to proceedin accordance with a logarithmic law so that the concentration of sur-vivors varies logarithmically with time, or, in other words, the rateof disinfection at any moment is proportional to the concentration of surviving bacteria ( — -, = Kn\. Of the species worked with, anthrax spores, B. tr/phosus, ^nd cuhnresof B. paratyphosus obtained by successive sub-culturing after shortperiods of growth, may be cited as proof of this assertion, withoutfurther remark. In my opinion, B. coli commune and Staphylococcuspyogenes aureus (if we allow for a short period of lag at the beginningof disinfection) may be added to this list. Eijkman, however, came to the conclusion that
