 foran beski'evne Observationer har fundet for Søvands Ved-

 ere iagttagne af to af hinanden uafhængigt arbeidende Che-

 Det vil af dette Bobligs Arbeide sees. at han allerede 

 Sommeren 1878 over det samme Thema har publiceret en 

 Afhandling. 1 som jeg ikke tidligere har været opmærksoin 

 paa. Den vilde dog ikke havt nogen væsentlig Indflydelse 

 paa mine l ndersøgelser, saasoni de vigtigste af de Obser- 

 vationer. der bar ført mig frem til de samme Resultater, 

 som Bobbg først har beskrevet, allerede vare udførte 3 — 4 

 Maaneder, førend hans første Afhandling forelaa trykket.

 fchose I have describéd as occurring in sea-water. These 

 transformations having accordingly been observed by two

 lished a treatise on the same subject in the summer of 

 1878, 1 to which my attention bad not previously been 

 directed. It would not. however, have materially in-

 vations that led me to the results which Bohlig was the 

 first to describe, having been instituted 3 or 4 months 

 before his first treatise bad left the press.
