Abstract
THE interaction of simple ions with plant cells has been frequently studied, and it has been found that in some cases cations and anions are both absorbed in the vacuoles1, while under different conditions the readjustment of the salt content occurs mainly by ion exchange2. The experiments now to be described belong to the latter type ; but, so far as I am aware, this is the first time that the ionic adsorption by a plant material has been systematically studied under flow conditions comparable to those prevailing in inorganic chromatographic adsorption analysis.
