Abstract
FROM his investigation of crystal formation in supersaturated electrolytic solution and the analysis of the electric behaviour of the crystal solution interface, Ubbelohde1 has suggested that charged microcrystals which act as crystallization nuclei might exist in the solution. In the course of work on the mechanism of crystal formation, I have observed some phenomena which seem to support Ubbelohde's views.
