Abstract
THE process of dialysis is so widely used for the purification of colloids that one would expect to find some general treatment of it in a book of this size dealing with ‘theory and methods.’ Diffusion into jellies, or without a septum, is not dialysis, nor are these methods used to any extent for the removal of non-colloidal substances. Similarly, the scattered references to electrodialysis are no substitute for a systematic treatment, nor is the promise of an article, in a future volume, on electro-osmosis, which is a different phenomenon.
