Abstract
CONSIDERING the rapid growth of colloid chemistry, it is remarkable that systems of finely divided matter suspended in gases have attracted so little attention from workers in pure science. This is all the more surprising because, on first consideration, such systems appear to be the simplest of all forms of disperse material, and it might be contended that just as the principles of the older chemistry originated from a study of gases, the investigation of aerial suspensions might throw a new light on the many complexities of the colloid state.
