Introduction.-Survival curves, which comprise a large proportion of the data on the effects of radiation on microorganisms, generally fall into two categories: the exponential or single-hit and the sigmoid or multi-hit. It is unfortunate that in the interpretation of such data few criteria have been available other than the form of the curves themselves, but this alone has provided sufficient grounds for speculation on some properties of the organisms. Exponential survival can be explained either on the basis of a single hit to killl'2 or a population distributed exponentially with respect to resistance to radiation. 3 Several considerations which make the single-
