Abstract
Two years ago, it was shown1 that, in a series of 107 acridines, marked antibacterial activity was, for the most part, confined to those substances which exist mainly in the form of cation at pH 7·3. Apparent exceptions to this rule have since been examined more closely and some important gaps in the series closed.
