N2  - Kinetic studies of the hydrolysis of acetamide in dilute acidic solution are reported. These reveal the presence of systematic errors in some previous work on this compound. A consistent treatment is given, leading to values of the energy and entropy of activation (at 75°) of 19.8 kcal and -17.8 e.u. and satisfactory correlation of most previous results.   Similar defects are present in recent work on chloroacetamide hydrolysis and the same approach is used in a reinterpretation.
