A REVISION OF THE ATOMIC WEIGHT OF CADMIUM. 

 THE ANALYSIS OF CADMIUM CHLORIDE. 



INTRODUCTION. 



From the following list of investigations upon the atomic weight of cad- 

 mium it can be seen that this subject has attracted considerable attention, 

 especially in recent years.^ 



The relative value of many of these determinations has already been several 

 times discussed,- and since it is invariably a difficult matter intelligently to 



' The greater portion of this list is to be found in Clarke's " Recalculation of the 

 Atomic Weights," Smithsonian Misc. Coll., 1910. 



The results have been calculated with the use of the following atomic weights: 

 = 16.00; C = i2.oo; S=32.o7; Cl=35.46; Br = 79.92; Ag = io7.88; 1=126.92.
