Abstract
SOME time ago1 a discussion arose between Prof. Mahajan and myself about the interpretation of a phenomenon which I described for the first time in 1922, namely, the slow decrease in the surface tension of colloid solutions in general, as a consequence of the adsorption in the surface layer. I showed that this decrease could be followed step by step by means of a proper instrument.
