ammonium salt with baric chloride. It is rather sparingly soluble even 

 in hot water, and still less soluble in cold water. It separates from a 

 hot concentrated solution in fine clustered needles which contain three 

 molecules of water. The crystals are permanent in the air, but lose 

 their water readily at 100°.

The solubility of the salt in water at 19°.5 was determined accord- 

 ing to the method of V. Meyer.

These results can hardly be explained unless it is assumed that they con- 

 tain both typographical and arithmetical errors. The two remaining analyses 

 contained in Denaro's paper, two chlorine determinations in the free acid are 

 correctly calculated, and agree well with the theory.
