In previous communications it was shown that an exposure for twenty hours and for a period of seven days to the temperature of liquid air (about - 190° C.) had no effect on the vitality of micro-organisms, whilst an exposure of ten hours to a temperature as low as that of liquid hydrogen (about - 252° C.) was likewise without an appreciable effect.*
