We have given at the close of the table a body which has 

 not yet been described. This is the nitraniline^ —

aniline, in whicli one equivalent of hydrogen is replaced by 

 the elements o{ •peroxide of nitrogen. In continuing our re- 

 searches on the substitution products of aniline, and upon 

 which one of us has lately published *, we tried to produce the 

 above compound in a variety of ways, but we have only ar- 

 rived at a satisfactory result by acting upon binitrobenzide with 

 sulphuret of ammonium. 



The new body in which the electro- positive properties of 

 aniline are preserved, crystallizes, affords crystallizable com- 

 pounds possessing the same constitution as those of aniline, and 

 undergoes distillation without being decomposed. Chemistry 

 has no analogue to nitraniline. It is the first body in which 

 basic properties are recognisable in spite of the entrance of 

 peroxide of nitrogen, and does on this account therefore de- 

 serve the attention of chemists. 



We shall shortly communicate to the Society our results 

 upon nitraniline. In concluding this treatise we shall draw
