Studies on the corrosion of metals and soils have been continued at the National Bureau of Standards and a report of the recent findings was published under the title “Correlation of the electrolytic corrosion test with the active corrosiveness of soils,” by I. A. Denison and R. B. Darnielle [J. Res., Nation. Bur. Stan., No. 21, pp. 819‐830, December, 1938], Another paper on this subject by Kirk H.
