Abstract
A DISCUSSION on the influence of the medium on the properties of electrolytes initiated by Sir Harold Hartley on Sept. 24, in Section B (Chemistry) of the British Association during its centenary meeting in London, gained further interest from the presence of several distinguished foreign men of science whose investigations have largely contributed to recent developments in this field. Striking success has attended the application to dilute solutions of the Bjerrum hypothesis of complete ionisation. With the Debye treatment of the interionic forces, this has induced the extended study of other solvents with the object of testing the validity of the theory.
