When complexes are formed on penetration, the length and the stereochemical configuration of the hydrocarbon chains in the penetrating and the monolayer molecules are important long chains penetrate more easily than short, and if double bonds are present, penetration into, or by, sub- 

The process of haemolysis is probably a penetration or displacement of the films normally surrounding the red blood corpuscles by the capillary active substances which constitute the haemolytic agents. Gorter and others1 found that haemolysis was complete when just enough was present to cover an area equal in surface to the corpuscles. The correspondence between penetration in monomolecular films, and haemolysis, by various substances, has been discussed by Schulman and Rideal.2
