WE have found that, of the four known isomers of benzene hexachloride, only the gamma is reduced at a dropping mercury electrode. The insecticidal activity of benzene hexachloride is preponderantly due to the gamma-isomer, so that a method of determining the latter is of value in the analysis of benzene hexachloride and insecticidal compositions based on it. This property of the gamma-isomer, which was first discovered by us in 1945, permitted the development of a reliable analytical procedure. Keller et al.1 showed in 1946 that benzene hexachloride gave rise to a polarographic wave, but did not specifically indicate that the wave was due to the gamma-isomer.
