Since the appearance of our previous communications on the range-finding 10 test,* additional data from our work have become available for presentation. They are listed in the Table. All materials named either are being handled in commercial quantities or have been tentatively evaluated for specific commercial applications within the past few years. A few are known by trade names not suggested by the chemical names given here. In particular, Cellosolve compounds are tabulated as oxyethanols; Carbitol compounds appear as oxyethoxyethanols, ethanolamines as substituted 2-aminoethanols, and diethanolamines as substituted 2,2'iminodiethanols. It should be emphasized that the range-finding test is relied upon only to allow predictions of the comparative hazards of handling new chemicals. Acute toxicity studies, no matter how carefully planned, yield no more than indications of the degree of care necessary to protect exposed workmen and indications that certain technically feasible applications of a chemical may or may not eventually be proved safe. It appears inevitable that minor changes in details will take place in any method which is employed for a period of years. For that reason, as well as to save reference to the earlier papers in this series,t the methods used for obtaining the data of the Table are briefly described again.
