The following paper gives some results of a series of experiments on the bactericidal power of various sources of ultra-violet radiation. The “power” of the source was in each case measured by the quartz-cadmium photo-electric cell described by the authors (1925), and it is shown that very definite and practically useful correlations exist between the cell reading and this typical abiotic action.
