Abstract
THE starting point of the present experiments was the assumption that the practically undiffusible particles of protoplasm are charged by the per se diffusible electrolytes with the formation of a double layer, and are maintained thereby in a dispersed state. If this be the case, then there must exist a certain equilibrium between the electrolytes, which build up the double layer on the particles of the protoplasm, and the electrolytes in the surrounding medium.
