In a previous paper from our laboratories it was stated that successive additions of acetylene to electrolytic gas had been found on explosion to have a peculiar disturbing influence upon the uniformity of the initial flame movement, reaching a maximum when the percentage of acetylene in the medium amounts to 20, but subsiding with further additions and eventually disappearing when the acetylene exceeds 30 per cent. In the present paper the results of further investigations of the matter will be described.
