96 Notice of the Arrival of Twenty-six of the Summer Birds 



I passed it into lime-water and obtained a plentiful precipi- 

 tate; it is probable therefore that the hydrogen of the tartaric 

 acid combines with the oxygen of the platina, and thus re- 

 duces it to the metallic state ; whilst the carbon and oxygen 

 of the tartaric acid form carbonic acid gas, 



I am at present engaged in some researches upon the oxide of 

 platina, thrown down by the action of protonitrate of mercury.
