Abstract
IN addition to reporting some results of measurements of electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of benzene, we wish to direct attention to the effect of conventional out-gassing and other techniques on the purity of solutions. The effect of contamination introduced by such procedures is of considerable practical importance and has also been noted by Dubois and Wilkinson1 in another connexion. The conductivity measurements were incidental to a study which we undertook of photo-conduction in organic solutions.
