Extract

1. Hypochlorite was allowed to react with glycine and with skim milk in various proportions, and the germicidal power of the resultant mixtures was determined.

2. The results indicated that chloramino compounds formed by interaction of hypochlorite and protein or amino-acid have a definite but slow disinfecting action against Str. cremoris.

3. The chloramino compounds did not appear to be more strongly germicidal at pH 9·5 than at pH 7·0 under the conditions of the experiments.
