Abstract
As a student of colloidal chemistry I was much interested in the results of the experiments on the clay-water systems by Mr. A. S. E. Ackermann (NATURE, January 6, p. 17), showing that there was a continuous penetration of the systems by a heavy object when its pressure exceeded a certain critical value referred to as the “pressure of fluidity.”
