A test of reproducibility has been made for the salivary sediment method1 of measuring the influence of inhibitors on acid formation rates. The standard deviation of a single determination from the mean was found to range from 5 to 20 per cent, depending on the method used in preparing the sediment and the type of chemical being tested. An over-all standard deviation of duplicates from their means was 7 per cent. Higher concentrations of inhibitory agents are required to inhibit acid formation in salivary sediment than are needed to inhibit acid formation in saliva-glucose mixtures.
