The original scope of this investigation was the study of the passage of hydrocyanic acid vapour through the skin. We have partly repeated and confirmed the results of Walton and Witherspoon (1926). In view of the extensive use of hydrocyanic acid vapour in the destruction of vermin in ships the subject is of considerable practical interest. In the course of our work certain other matters were considered and these are referred to in the text.
