Examination of the Inorganic Constituents of the Flesh of the 

 Horse. By M. Weber. 



THE flesh consisted of the muscles of the fore-leg of a lean 

 horse, immediately after the animal was killed, and com- 

 pletely freed from blood by the injection of water into the 

 brachial artery until it escaped from the veins in a colour- 

 less state; it was then dried and carbonized. 



The residue of the aqueous extract was perfectly free from 

 carbonic acid, and consisted of — 



-NaCl . . 3-43 



2KO + PO5 83-27 



2NaO + P(>, 11-10 



Phosphoric acid . 41-68 



Sulphuric acid . . O-71J v~ 99-32 



99-19 

 The muriatic extract consisted of — 



Potash 26-47 



Soda 4-36 



Lime 6-02 



Magnesia 12*20 



Peroxide of iron . . . 3-96 



Phosphoric acid . . . 46-99 



100-00 



Assuming that the phosphoric acid forms pyrophosphates 

 with the bases, we obtain the following calculated result: — 



Bibasic phosphate of lime . . 13-64 



Bibasic phosphate of magnesia 33*27 



2Fe02 + 3P05 1'22 



Bibasic phosphate of potash . 30«14 



Potash 9-28 



Soda 4-45 



100-00 



If, however, we admit that both the alkalies and the earths, 

 excluding the magnesia, form c>phosphates, we obtain the 

 following result: —
