358 Messrs. Schlossberger and Kemp on tJie Proportion of 



ment most tenaciously retained a small quantity of the colour- 

 ing matter of the blood. We have already given the analysis < 

 of the liver of this bird (experiment XIV.) . 



XXXVIII. 0'347 grm. of lamb gave 0"725 grm. of ammo- 

 nio-chloride of platinum, equal to 13*26 percent, of nitrogen. 



XXXIX. 0*320 grm. of the purified fibre of lamb gave 

 0*734 grm. of ammonio-chloritle of platinum, equal to 14^5Ch 

 per cent, of nitrogen. ;v fu r \v,\\i ii^ft 



XL. 0*336 grm. of mutton gave 0-651 grm. of ammonio- 

 chloride of platinum, equal to 12*30 per cent, of nitrogen. In 

 this case it was found extremely difficult to separate mechani- 

 cally the whole of the fat : it is necessary to notice this, as 

 the numbers are somewhat lower than might have been ex- 

 pected. 



XLI. 0*341 grm. of boiled mutton gave 0*728 grm. of 

 ammonio-chloride of platinum, equal to 13*55 per cent, of ni- 

 trogen. 



XLII. 0*335 grm. of the purified fibre from mutton gave 

 0'779 grm. of ammonio-chloride of platinum, equal to 14*76 

 per cent, of nitrogen. 



XLIII. 0*318 grm. of veal gave 0*696 grm. of ammonio- 

 chloride of platinum, equal to 13*89 per cent, of nitrogen. 



XLIV. 0*379 grm. of boiled veal gave 0*866 grm. of am- 

 monio-chloride of platinum, equal to 14*50 per cent, of ni- 

 trogen. 



XLV. 0*214 grm. of purified fibre from veal gave 0*532 

 grm. of ammonio-chloride of platinum, equal to 15*78 per 

 cent, of nitrogen. 



XLVI. 0-306 grm. of ox- beef gave 0*675 grm. of ammonio- 

 chloride of platinum, equal to 14*00 per cent, of nitrogen. 



XL VII. Last experiment repeated. 0*292 grm. gave 

 0*633 grm. of ammonio-chloride of platinum, equal to 13*73 

 per cent, of nitrogen. 



XLVIII. 0*331 grm. of boiled beef gave 0*781 grm. of 

 ammonio-chloride of platinum, equal to 14*98 per cent, of ni- 

 trogen. 



XLIX. 0*392 grm. of purified fibre of beef gave 0-919 

 grm. of ammonio-chloride of platinum, equal to 14*88 per 

 cent, of nitrogen. The liver of the ox gave 10*66 per cent, 

 of nitrogen (see XIII.). 



L. 0*216 grm. of the lungs of the ox gave 0*504 grm. of 

 ammonio-chloride of platinum, equal to 14*81 per cent, of ni- 

 trogen. 



LI. 0*359 grm. of pork-ham gave 0*485 grm. of ammonio- 

 chloride of platinum, equal to 8*57 per cent, of nitrogen. 



LII. 0*395 grm. of the boiled pork-ham gave 0*777 grm.
