Its sclution in chloroform was attacked with great energ}' by bro- 

 mine. So also its solution in acetic acid, a dark red compound being 

 formed on the addition of two atoms of bromine to one molecule of 

 the diphenylamine. This compound was readily soluble in chloroform, 

 but as it did not separale in a crystalline condition, its analysis was 

 not made. It was probably the addition-compound (C12 Hju N)2 

 C3 H4 Bro. 



Its solution in acetic acid was attacked by nitric acid, forming a pre- 

 cipitate with a supernatant yellow liquid. Neither the solution nor the 

 precipitate yielded a crystallizable nitro-product, and their study was 

 abandoned.
