Extract

Determinations of organic phosphorus (so called) have been made in waters from off Plymouth. The amount varies little with the time of year and averages 0·44 mg. -atom per cubic metre. This is of the same order as determinations in other parts of the North Atlantic. About one-half of this “organic phosphorus” is considered really to be arsenite.
