THE large number of satisfactory standard buffer solutions available for the colorimetric determination of pH values has been augmented in recent years by 5 class of solutions known as universal buffer solutions. These consist of mixtures of acids of diminishing strength, by the successive neutralisation of which the pa values of the solutions are caused to vary continuously from about 2 to 12, the change in pH being approximately proportional to the amount of alkali added. Two such buffer solutions containing phosphoric, acetic or plienylacetic, and boric acids have been described (Prideaux, Proc. Roy. Xoc., 1916, 92, A, 463; Prideaux and Ward, J., 1924, 125, 426), having a pH range of 2-12, but the present authors have shown (this vol., p. 458) that the graph of the p H of the buffer solution containing phosphoric, phenylacetic, and boric acids against the degree of neutralisation is not a straight line but is undulatory in character, and that the use of a linear interpolation formula may lead to errors of as much as 0.2 unit in pH. This communication contains a more detailed study of the original mixture of phosphoric, acetic, and boric acids and also a description of a new universal buffer solution which throughout a considerable portion of its neutralisation gives a rigidly rectilinear change in pH. This has been made possible through the fact (see Kolthoff,“Gebrauch der Farbenindikatoren,” 1923, p. 163;
