OF MILK: CORRECTION FACTORS AND THE INFLUENCE OF STIRRING: I1 h I11 225 It was originally intended to employ four different amounts of supercooling for each sample of milk, vix. about 1.5, 1.0,0.8, and 0.5" C. It was found, however, that the differences in the readings of the thermometer corresponding to these different amounts of supercooling were in the neighbourhood of 0.002"-an amount so small that the unavoidable errors of observation might possibly approach the same order. It was, therefore, decided to employ only two different amounts of supercooling, as widely apart as practicable, say about 1.5" and 04", and to increase the number of samples examined. It was stated by Hortvet that, unless a much greater amount of supercooling than 0.5" is employed in the use of his cryoscope and technique, the rise of the mercury column is not sufficiently pronounced, and that there is more or less wavering, so that difficulty arises in deciding on the exact point at which the top of the column becomes stationary. Elsdon and Stubbs (Eoc.it.)^ found the same result when using a supercooling of less than about 0.8"; the mercury rose very slowly, and did not maintain a steady position for any appreciable time, and the proper freezing-point might not, under these circumstances, be attained. In the first experiments, made with the object of ascertaining the super- cooling correction, it was observed that where the amount of supercooling was small, that is, less than say 0-75", even in the absence of alcohol in the jacket surrounding the freezing-tube, the rise of temperature, when freezing occurred, was very slow-so slow, indeed, as to suggest doubts whether the thermometer would indicate the freezing-point of the milk, influenced only by supercooling, owing to the reading being affected by the length of time which elapses and the possibility of imperfect thermal insulation, causing a nett loss of heat from the freezing tube and contents.To give an instance; in an experiment when the supercooling was 0-71" the time required for the mercury column to rise until, on observation through the telescope with the aid of the horizontal cross-wire, the ascent became imperceptible, was 92 minutes, as compared with about 3& minutes when the same milk was super- cooled 1-49'. It will be seen later that, in the absence of alcohol in the space surrounding the freezing-tube, the heat insulation of the milk is not perfect; a nett loss of heat occurs, for it is possible t o carry through a freezing-point determination under such conditions.The difference between the two methods of working- with and without alcohol-results in a longer time being required for the cooling of the milk when the space around the freezing-tube is occupied by air. There were also the difficulties of judging when the rising column of mercury had reached the highest point, due to the very slow movement which occurred in that region, and of getting satisfactory readings, owing to the short time that elapsed before a fall took place. The idea of following strictly the Hortvet technique, as regards stirring, for these particular experiments was therefore abandoned.In the first series of experiments, the results of which are recorded in Table 111, four or five stirrings of three strokes each were employed, and in the second series the mechanical stirrer, working at the rate of 40 strokes per minute, was in operation all the time, the thermometer rising until tapping became necessary.

It was stated by Hortvet that, unless a much greater amount of supercooling than 0.5" is employed in the use of his cryoscope and technique, the rise of the mercury column is not sufficiently pronounced, and that there is more or less wavering, so that difficulty arises in deciding on the exact point at which the top of the column becomes stationary.

464 MITCHELL THE USE OF INFRA-RED RAYS IN THE The Use of Infra-Red Rays in the Examination of Inks and Pigments BY C. AINSWORTH MITCHELL D.Sc. F.I.C. (Read at the Meeting Febmary 6 1935) SO far back as 1880 Abneyl prepared a blue modification of silver bromide which was particularly sensitive to deep-red and infra-red rays and using it in a collodion film he succeeded in taking infra-red photographs. This method however was complicated and uncertain and it was not until the discovery that certain dyestuffs, notably the cyanines and isocyanines have the property of rendering silver bromide sensitive to infra-red rays that photography at this end of the spectrum became readily practicable and even then until a comparatively recent date plates thus sensitised were very unstable.Now that this difficulty has been overcome new avenues of scientific exploration have been opened and have already led to important discoveries. The ordinary infra-red plates (Ilford Afga) when used with the appropriate light-filters have a sensitivity ranging from about 760mp to about 900mpJ and thus respond also to part of the deep red of the visible spectrum the limit of which is about 820mp. The infra-red sensitivity may be increased to about 2OOOmp by treating the ordinary " I.R." plates with a solution of triethanolamine,* but the range is still only about 0.5 per cent. of the total region of the heat rays. The rays in this borderland beyond the visible red have properties very different from those of the actinic violet and ultra-violet rays. They can penetrate numerous substances relatively opaque to light rays and on the other hand are reflected by certain substances which absorb light.A good illustration of these characteristics * The method is described by Rawling in his useful little handbook Infru-Red Phdogrufihy, p. 65. See also Baly. EXAMINATION OF INKS AND PIGMENTS 455 is afforded by an infra-red photograph of a summer landscape on a misty day. The rays are not scattered laterally as are those of light by the suspended particles of moisture and dust in the mist but are reflected by the grass and the leaves of the trees with the result that the photograph appears as a snow-scene with all mist eliminated.3 These curious effects are apparently related to the phenomena of longitudinal expansion and scattering discovered by Plotnik~w.~ Longitudinal expansion is not confined however to the infra-red rays; it belongs also to the rays of the visible spectrum although in diminishing degree as one passes from the red towards the violet region but it had not previously been discovered owing to its photographic effects being masked by the action of the more actinic rays.* a b Fig.2 In certain substances the scattering is so pronounced that some of the rays are bent right round and find an exit in the direction from which they entered (Fig. 3). This reflex scattering which affords a mechanical explanation of many of the puzzling phenomena associated with heat rays was established by Plotniko+ and his collaborators in a series of quantitative experiments on the skin and parts of the organs of animals.Selective scattering of the rays also accounts for the fact that skiagraphs of the human hand and of a frog can be obtained by the use of infra-red rays although the outlines are more blurred than in X-ray photographs. Herein too lies the explanation of the possibility of taking an infra-red photograph of a document within a closed envelope.” 8 * THE PLOTNIKOW EFFECT.-The apparatus devised by Plotnikow6 for proving the longitudinal scattering of visible and invisible rays is shown in Fig. 1 (plate). A beam of light is made to pass through the narrow tube supported by the screen S and then through the light-filter F to the lens L by which it is focussed on the small tube A which is closed a t one end. Before reaching this point the rays pass through the tube d (here shown detached but normally supported by the fork R) then through the spring shutter V and the trough T and the image of the small tube A is photographed on the plate contained in the holder K which is provided with movable shutters a b c.If the trough T is empty or contains only water the image of the tube A will not appear upon the plate but if the tube contains the solution of an organic substance the image will appear as a dark disc surrounded by a light corona the extent of which depends upon both the size and complexity of the molecule of the organic substance. For example with a 5 per cent. solution of starch 4 mm. thick through which infra-red rays had passed an image with a wide corona (a) was recorded on an infra-red plate whereas after the starch had been hydrolysed with ptyalin for 15 minutes the scattering of the rays had been greatly reduced and the corona in the photograph was less than a third of the original size (b) (Fig.2). The method may thus be used for studying the progress of enzymic decomposition. I have to thank Professor Plotnikow for placing a t my disposal reprints of papers containing ’the account of this discovery and its applications and for sending me a number of unpublished photographs 456 MITCHELL THE USE OF INFRA-RED RAYS I N THE In my experience the possibility of thus deciphering the contents of a sealed envelope depends not only upon the relative transparency of the paper but also upon the composition of the inks upon the document. Printing inks containing lamp-black or Prussian blue are plainly revealed as is also writing in iron-gall inks but most red violet or blue writing or typing inks are usually as transparent p / m opaque but a violet paper lining to an envelope affords no protection against an infra-red censorship.In the example shown in Fig. 4 (plate) the black printing ink on the cheque and the blue printing ink of the - stamp are clearly brought out and the signature in blue-black iron-gall ink appears faintly but the blue ink in which the name of the bank is printed- in small characters over the face of the cheque was transparent. An analogous application of infra-red or printing that has been obliterated with Fig. 3 another ink. The possibility of doing this depends upon differences in the relative transparency of the two inks.Thus if writing or printing in carbon ink has been obliterated with an aniline black or blue-black ink or with an iron-gall blue-black ink not too rich in iron tannate, the obliterated words are revealed in the photograph. I am indebted to Dr. Bendikson of the Huntingdon Library California for a very interesting example of the use of the method in deciphering passages in a copy of the Collectiones Peregrinationzcm by Theodore de Bry (1590-1630) which were expurgated in 1632 by the censor of the Spanish Inquisition (Fig. 5 plate). Chemical tests have not yet been applied to the obliterating ink but it is probably not a carbon ink since such inks are relatively opaque to the rays. Contrary to the general belief however the opacity of inks containing lamp-black is not absolute for by drastic intensification of the infra-red negative I have succeeded in revealing indications of writing in an iron-tannin ink which had been blotted out experimentally with artists’ black carbon ink.DIFFERENTIATION OF WRITING INKs.-The degree of transparency of different inks to infra-red rays depends not only upon the composition of the inks but also upon their physical properties. Aniline blue-black inks are usually transparent, whilst iron tannate or gallate inks and iron lignone sulphonate inks are more or less opaque and the two classes may thus be readily distinguished by infra-red photography. The provisional colouring mat ters-soluble blue and indigo-are practically transparent and the relative opacity of blue-black iron-gall inks, consisting of a mixture of iron tannates and aniline blue will usually increase with the proportion of the black iron pigment in the ink.Thus in a comparative series of tests in which artists’ black ink was obliterated by aniline or iron-gall blue-black inks Talen’s ink (with 0.33 per cent. of iron) was more opaque than “Skrip” (with 0.12 per cent. of iron) and the latter was less opaque than Gimborn’s phNq as the paper to the rays.

Mellor’s ink containing only a trace of iron was more transparent than any of the others (Fig. 6 plate). The relative proportions of blue dye and black pigment in the ink have a greater effect upon the results than the absolute amount of black pigment (as indicated by the iron) and an important physical factor is the way in which with certain inks there is differential separation of the blue dye by the capillary action of the fibres of the paper.Chrome logwood ink is somewhat opaque and osmium pyrogallate decidedly so but the common red blue and violet writing inks are all practically transparent. In applying the test to a document care must be taken to compare a large number of strokes of similar density and it must be borne in mind that the ink in blotted writing will usually contain a relatively higher proportion of blue dye than the ink in unblotted writing. Hence blotted writing should be compared only with blotted writing and even then only if there are pronounced differences in a large series of strokes can a definite conclusion be drawn that the two inks are different. So far as my experiments go there is little difference if any between infra-red photographs of strokes in commercial blue- black inks exposed on paper for various periods ranging from 5 minutes to 14 days.Of course in such inks the iron tannate has already undergone a preliminary oxidation in the vats. PIGMENTS IN DRAWING INKS.-A systematic series of tests applied to the pigments used for drawing inks etc. has revealed unexpected differences between them ranging from the nearly complete opacity of the carbon blacks to the transparency of the vegetable lakes. Between these extremes come pigments with various degrees of transparency some transmitting the rays through compact layers whilst others are relatively opaque even in a thin layer. (Vide infra: PIGMENTS IN PAINTS.) SEPIA.-TO the latter class belongs the organic pigment sepia and it is an interesting fact that the modern sepia derived from the cuttle fish Sepia oBcinalis, behaves towards the rays in exactly the same way as the pigment from fossil sepia (Acanthotezdhis Sp.Oxford clay*). The fact that a natural animal pigment, such as sepia should be opaque to the rays whereas the pigment in the skin of a negro apparently reflects them raises a number of interesting biochemical questions. It is most probable that the human melanin if isolated would behave like separated sepia and that the phenomenon of a negro appearing white in an infra-photograph is another example of the reflex scattering of the rays by living tissue discovered by Plotnikow (Zoc. cit.). Another significant point about the photograph of a negro is that the reflex scattering does not extend to the pigment in the hairs visible beneath the skin; these absorb the rays.This is also in keeping with the fact that the pigments in dyed or undyed furs (specimens of which were kindly sent to me by Dr. H. E. Cox) behave normally (i.e. absorb the rays). The fact that the pigmentation spots in a frog’s skin are relatively opaque to the rays may possibly be due to the skin of an aquatic animal exerting a smaller reflex action upon infra-red rays than does the skin of a terrestrial animal. This * I am indebted to Mr. Kenneth Oakley for the specimen of this pigment 458 MITCHELL THE USE OF INFRA-RED RAYS I N THE hypothesis was supported by an infra-red photograph of a mackerel in which the black stripes appear as dark as in an ordinary photograph.PIGMENTS I N PAINTS AND PRINTING INKS.-The yellow pigments used for paints and printing inks are all more or less transparent to the rays they include cadmium yellow lead chromate and yellow ochre. Orange antimony sulphide is transparent and contrary to expectation the black modification is also fairly transparent. Of the red and red-brown pigments alizarine red scarlet lake, vermilion cadmium red and red lead are transparent Indian red is opaque and red ochre and raw and burnt sienna are transparent if in very thin layers. An interesting point in connection with the peculiar transparency of red lead is that the lead oxides appear to be exceptionally sensitive to infra-red rays; it was discovered by Sir H. Davy,” so far back as 1812 that exposure of the puce-coloured oxide of lead (presumably lead peroxide) to deep red rays changed it first to red and finally to black.Analogous differences are to be found in the behaviour of blue pigments. Pure ultramarine indigo and cobalt blue are transparent whilst Prussian blue and cyanine blue are opaque. Some commercial specimens of ultramarine, however are relatively opaque probably owing to the presence of impurities. Infra-red photography will thus frequently enable printing inks on documents to be distinguished from one another. Inks containing iron pigments such as Prussian blue or violet inks darkened with black ink will appear dark on the print whilst most of the red inks and those containing ultramarine and blue lakes will not appear at all in the photograph.ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PIGMENTS.-The results obtained with Ancient Egyptian pigments specimens of which were kindly obtained for me by Mr. A. Lucas were analogous to those given by modern pigments. Of the yellow pigments orpiment and two yellow ochres (18th Dynasty) were transparent; red ochre was transparent in very thin layers as were also azurite and Egyptian blue but a blue frit containing iron was opaque and malachite was relatively opaque. MEDIAEVAL PIGMENTs.-Specimens of azurite smalt and lapis lazuli from mediaeval MSS. (for which I am also indebted to Mr. Lucas) were all transparent to the rays. ENAMEL PIGMENTS-I have to thank Mr. A. R. Powell and Messrs. Johnson and Matthey for the opportunity of testing a series of commercial mineral pigments. These gave the following results: Cobalt-nickel-iron black Chrome green (Cr,O and COO) Gold purple (Au 0.25; SnO, 2.5 per cent.) Copper green (CuO.PbCr0,) Cobalt blue (COO 35 per cent.; ZnO 40 per cent.; Cadmium red (Cd 60; S 25; Se 15 per cent.) Cadmium red and barium sulphate Lead-an t imon y yellow Cadmium yellow Chrome green SO, 25 per cent.) Opaque Moderately transparent Moderately transparent Nearly opaque Nearly transparent Transparent Transparent Transparent Transpar en t Moderately transparen EXAMINATION OF INKS AND PIGMENTS 459 PIGMENTS IN PENCILS AND CHALKS.-The method is also applicable to the differentiation of the pigments in coloured pencils and chalks. For example, marks made with a blue drawing crayon were transparent those from a Faber’s blue pencil were opaque and a Duplex blue pencil produced marks that were somewhat transparent.With copying-pencil pigments the differences in transparency depend not only upon the presence of graphite but also on the relative proportion of graphite to dye. Thus the “ Swan ” copying-ink pencil pigment (which contains no graphite) is transparent whilst the pigment of Kurds indelible pencil (with 38.5 per cent. of graphite) is relatively opaque. MARKING INKs.-The natural vegetable pigments of the Indian marking nut (Semecarpus anacardiwn) and of the berries of the Chinese varnish tree (Phytolacca davigera) are relatively opaque. Infra-red photography indeed brings out very clearly the pigment cells in the pericarp of the nut when cut in half (Fig.7 plate). Although the pigments in the skins of living fruits and in flowers (Fig. 8 plate) apparently reflect the rays so that a bunch of grapes appears in an infra-red photograph to be made of wax it seems probable that the phenomenon is one of reflex scattering associated with proteins rather than with the pigment itself. This received support from a comparison of infra-red photographs of fresh grapes and dried muscatel raisins in which the difference in reflection was very pronounced; moreover a thick layer of chlorophyll is transparent. The black gills beneath a mushroom however are opaque to the rays, and have their normal appearance in an infra-red photograph (Fig. 9). Aniline black marking inks are more or less *opaque to infra-red rays although there is con-siderable difference in the degree of opacity between markings in two-solution inks (which form the pigment within the fibres) and the one-solution inks, in which most of the pigment is ready-formed.Fig. 9 Marking done with silver marking inks tends to be Infra-red photograph of under-side of a mushroom. less opaque than that in a two-solution aniline ink. THE BEHAVIOUR OF METALLIC SALTs-Since the salts of various metals enter into the composition of different kinds of inks systematic tests were made to see what differences could be traced. Iron Compounds.-Ferrous sulphate transparent ; ferric sulphate transparent ; ferric sulphate chloride slightly opaque ; ferric salicylate transparent ; ferrous t annate slightly transparent in thin opaque in thick layers ; ferric oxide trans-parent.The principal results were as follows:-Nickel Salts.-Nickel chloride transparent ; when oxidised opaque. Cobalt Salts.-Cobalt sulphate acetate or chloride (either in blue or pink modification) transparent ; cobalt chloride oxidised with hypochlorite opaque. Iodine.-A solution of iodine in potassium iodide transmits infra-red rays 460 MITCHELL THE USE OF INFRA-RED RAYS I N THE and may even be used as a filter in infra-red photography. Starch iodide i s relatively opaque. In each instance the pigment was illuminated with a 60-watt lamp placed 8 inches away. An infra-red light-filter was fixed over the lens and an exposure of 1& minute was given at f16. EXAMINATION OF CHARRED DOCUMENTS.-Dr. Bendikson has kindly sent me an infra-red photograph of charred paper the writing upon which had been rendered legible by the use of infra-red rays.My experiments in this direction have met with only limited success. When the charring had not proceeded beyond the brown stage black pigments such as the graphite of a pencil or the lamp-black of marking ink could be revealed by the method but when the paper had become black tinder only faint indications of writing in pencil or ink or of characters in printing ink were obtained. Hence the method does not seem likely to be as generally serviceable for deciphering charred documents as it has been found for reading writing that has become illegible through the discoloration of the material (e.g. mummy linen old leather) through age.BLooD-STAINs.-The possibility of using infra-red photography for the detection and demonstration of blood-stains on fabrics depends upon two factors. In the first place the dyestuff in the fabric must be decidedly more transparent to the rays than the oxyhaemoglobin of the blood-stain and this condition will not often be present. Many dyed fabrics absorb infra-red rays as was shown by CunliffelO in his systematic study of the relative infra-red reflecting power of pieces of cloth dyed with a series of different dyestuffs. Secondly the pigment of the blood-stain must be in a condition in which it is relatively opaque to the rays. In my experience it is possible for a blood-stain especially one on red material, to be plainly visible to the eye or to appear in an ordinary photograph but to be invisible in an infra-red photograph.The conditions that enabled MartinU to obtain his interesting infra-red photograph of a blood-stain on dark blue cloth must therefore have been exceptionally favourable. It might however be possible sometimes to overcome the difficulty of contrast by converting the iron of the haemoglobin into Prussian blue which as already mentioned is decidedly opaque to infra-red rays.

RAWLING said that he was glad to have the outline of Plotnikow’s As he understood it it was used to explain the theory which was new to him EXAMINATION OF INKS AND PIGMENTS 461 snowy” effect seen in infra-red photographs of such subjects as foliage.Personally he would rather attribute the phenomenon to the extremely high transparency of chlorophyll; light entering the plant was not absorbed by the chlorophyll and was therefore scattered in all directions by the cellular tissue. Dr. Rawling then demonstrated the difference between two green dyes used as inks and showed how they could be used for secret writing one of them being opaque and the other transparent to rays of about 700mp. Hence a secret message written with the first dye and introduced among the words of another message written with the second dye could be revealed by means of infra-red photography or by the use of spectacles containing glass absorbing rays above 700 mp. Dr. MITCHELL replying said that Dr. Rawling’s ingenious method of secret writing also provided an illustration of the way in which the phenomenon of longitudinal and reflex scattering occurred in the visible spectrum as well as in the infra-red region. With regard to the behaviour of chlorophyll towards infra-red rays the experiments of M. Plotnikow junr. (Photographische Korrespondenz, 1934 70 [4] 55) who obtained sharp infra-red photographs when using an alcoholic solution of chlorophyll as the light-filter indicated that the reflection of infra-red rays by foliage was probably primarily due to the plasma and other substances of high molecular complexity rather than to the chlorophyll. An alcoholic solution of chlorophyll (0.1 per cent.) in a cell 2 cm. in thickness showed no material longitudinal scattering and in this respect it behaved like paper. 4

OF MILK: CORRECTION FACTORS AND THE INFLUENCE OF STIRRING: I1 h I11 225 It was originally intended to employ four different amounts of supercooling for each sample of milk, vix. about 1.5, 1.0,0.8, and 0.5" C. It was found, however, that the differences in the readings of the thermometer corresponding to these different amounts of supercooling were in the neighbourhood of 0.002"-an amount so small that the unavoidable errors of observation might possibly approach the same order. It was, therefore, decided to employ only two different amounts of supercooling, as widely apart as practicable, say about 1.5" and 04", and to increase the number of samples examined. It was stated by Hortvet that, unless a much greater amount of supercooling than 0.5" is employed in the use of his cryoscope and technique, the rise of the mercury column is not sufficiently pronounced, and that there is more or less wavering, so that difficulty arises in deciding on the exact point at which the top of the column becomes stationary. Elsdon and Stubbs (Eoc.it.)^ found the same result when using a supercooling of less than about 0.8"; the mercury rose very slowly, and did not maintain a steady position for any appreciable time, and the proper freezing-point might not, under these circumstances, be attained. In the first experiments, made with the object of ascertaining the super- cooling correction, it was observed that where the amount of supercooling was small, that is, less than say 0-75", even in the absence of alcohol in the jacket surrounding the freezing-tube, the rise of temperature, when freezing occurred, was very slow-so slow, indeed, as to suggest doubts whether the thermometer would indicate the freezing-point of the milk, influenced only by supercooling, owing to the reading being affected by the length of time which elapses and the possibility of imperfect thermal insulation, causing a nett loss of heat from the freezing tube and contents.To give an instance; in an experiment when the supercooling was 0-71" the time required for the mercury column to rise until, on observation through the telescope with the aid of the horizontal cross-wire, the ascent became imperceptible, was 92 minutes, as compared with about 3& minutes when the same milk was super- cooled 1-49'. It will be seen later that, in the absence of alcohol in the space surrounding the freezing-tube, the heat insulation of the milk is not perfect; a nett loss of heat occurs, for it is possible t o carry through a freezing-point determination under such conditions.The difference between the two methods of working- with and without alcohol-results in a longer time being required for the cooling of the milk when the space around the freezing-tube is occupied by air. There were also the difficulties of judging when the rising column of mercury had reached the highest point, due to the very slow movement which occurred in that region, and of getting satisfactory readings, owing to the short time that elapsed before a fall took place.

It was stated by Hortvet that, unless a much greater amount of supercooling than 0.5" is employed in the use of his cryoscope and technique, the rise of the mercury column is not sufficiently pronounced, and that there is more or less wavering, so that difficulty arises in deciding on the exact point at which the top of the column becomes stationary. Elsdon and Stubbs (Eoc.it.)^ found the same result when using a supercooling of less than about 0.8"; the mercury rose very slowly, and did not maintain a steady position for any appreciable time, and the proper freezing-point might not, under these circumstances, be attained. In the first experiments, made with the object of ascertaining the super- cooling correction, it was observed that where the amount of supercooling was small, that is, less than say 0-75", even in the absence of alcohol in the jacket surrounding the freezing-tube, the rise of temperature, when freezing occurred, was very slow-so slow, indeed, as to suggest doubts whether the thermometer would indicate the freezing-point of the milk, influenced only by supercooling, owing to the reading being affected by the length of time which elapses and the possibility of imperfect thermal insulation, causing a nett loss of heat from the freezing tube and contents.To give an instance; in an experiment when the supercooling was 0-71" the time required for the mercury column to rise until, on observation through the telescope with the aid of the horizontal cross-wire, the ascent became imperceptible, was 92 minutes, as compared with about 3& minutes when the same milk was super- cooled 1-49'. It will be seen later that, in the absence of alcohol in the space surrounding the freezing-tube, the heat insulation of the milk is not perfect; a nett loss of heat occurs, for it is possible t o carry through a freezing-point determination under such conditions.The difference between the two methods of working- with and without alcohol-results in a longer time being required for the cooling of the milk when the space around the freezing-tube is occupied by air. There were also the difficulties of judging when the rising column of mercury had reached the highest point, due to the very slow movement which occurred in that region, and of getting satisfactory readings, owing to the short time that elapsed before a fall took place. The idea of following strictly the Hortvet technique, as regards stirring, for these particular experiments was therefore abandoned.In the first series of experiments, the results of which are recorded in Table 111, four or five stirrings of three strokes each were employed, and in the second series the mechanical stirrer, working at the rate of 40 strokes per minute, was in operation all the time, the thermometer rising until tapping became necessary.

It does not appear that these variations in stirring caused any significant differences in the results obtained, but the times of rising of the mercury, after two different extents, large and small,OF MILK: CORRECTION FACTORS AND THE INFLUENCE OF STIRRING: I1 h I11 225 It was originally intended to employ four different amounts of supercooling for each sample of milk, vix.about 1.5, 1.0,0.8, and 0.5" C. It was found, however, that the differences in the readings of the thermometer corresponding to these different amounts of supercooling were in the neighbourhood of 0.002"-an amount so small that the unavoidable errors of observation might possibly approach the same order. It was, therefore, decided to employ only two different amounts of supercooling, as widely apart as practicable, say about 1.5" and 04", and to increase the number of samples examined. It was stated by Hortvet that, unless a much greater amount of supercooling than 0.5" is employed in the use of his cryoscope and technique, the rise of the mercury column is not sufficiently pronounced, and that there is more or less wavering, so that difficulty arises in deciding on the exact point at which the top of the column becomes stationary.Elsdon and Stubbs (Eoc. it.)^ found the same result when using a supercooling of less than about 0.8"; the mercury rose very slowly, and did not maintain a steady position for any appreciable time, and the proper freezing-point might not, under these circumstances, be attained. In the first experiments, made with the object of ascertaining the super- cooling correction, it was observed that where the amount of supercooling was small, that is, less than say 0-75", even in the absence of alcohol in the jacket surrounding the freezing-tube, the rise of temperature, when freezing occurred, was very slow-so slow, indeed, as to suggest doubts whether the thermometer would indicate the freezing-point of the milk, influenced only by supercooling, owing to the reading being affected by the length of time which elapses and the possibility of imperfect thermal insulation, causing a nett loss of heat from the freezing tube and contents.To give an instance; in an experiment when the supercooling was 0-71" the time required for the mercury column to rise until, on observation through the telescope with the aid of the horizontal cross-wire, the ascent became imperceptible, was 92 minutes, as compared with about 3& minutes when the same milk was super- cooled 1-49'. It will be seen later that, in the absence of alcohol in the space surrounding the freezing-tube, the heat insulation of the milk is not perfect; a nett loss of heat occurs, for it is possible t o carry through a freezing-point determination under such conditions.The difference between the two methods of working- with and without alcohol-results in a longer time being required for the cooling of the milk when the space around the freezing-tube is occupied by air. There were also the difficulties of judging when the rising column of mercury had reached the highest point, due to the very slow movement which occurred in that region, and of getting satisfactory readings, owing to the short time that elapsed before a fall took place.
