were quite pronounced. The first dilution almost eliminated decomposition and produced a corrected CS2 reading of 244 units, approximately the reading which would be expected from 25.3 mg. of CS2 per liter when inhibition is complete (Figure 4). The first dilution of "Fire inhibited" 80:20, which contained 1% re-pentane, completely eliminated decomposition and produced a corrected CS2 reading of 245 units. The joint inhibitory effects of CCh and pentane apparently raised the lower limit of the critical CS2 concentration range above that for CS2 in 80:20 without pentane.
