120 Some Experiments on the Distillation 



Experiment XXXIV. 

 Mutton, cut from the thick part of a hind-quarter and 

 carefully freed from fat, 775 grains. — This suhstance exhaled 

 the same disagreeable odour as the beef, but was succeeded 

 by a flame that burnt longer and with more violence. The 

 coal obtained was light and honeycombed, of a dark grav 

 colour, and weighed 23 grains. Loss by distillation frifiS 

 grains. 



Component parts : Volatile matter 95*74 

 Oxide of carbon 4*28 



100 parts. 



Experiment XXXV. 

 J?at, cut from the same quarter, 225 grains. — A thin flat 

 cake of silvery gray coal was obtained, which weighed 2' 25 

 grains. — Lost in distillation 223*75 grains. 



Component parts : Volatile matter 99 

 Oxide of carbon J 



100 parts. 



Experiment XXXVI. 

 Veal, carefully separated from fat, 1215 grains — The re- 

 sult of the distillation of veal gave a fine silvery gray co*- 

 loured coal, light, and extremely spongy, weighing 44 

 grains. — Loss by distillation 1201 grains. 



Component parts : Volatile matter 9647 

 Oxide of carbon 3*53 



\ 100 parts. 



Experiment XXXVII. 

 Lean of Pork, 820 parts. — This flamed a great deal, and 

 yielded a coal of considerable bulk, but very light and 

 spongy. The colour was silver gray. It weighed 49 parts, 

 having lost by distillation 771. 



Component parts : Volatile nutter 94*03 

 Oxide of carbon 5*97
