34.1 Deflandre 1947 Kumadex—aud. Doflandre 1947, 96 



preparation: Mix 3 parts of a syrupy solution of a couinarone resin in xylene with 1 

 part of Canada balsam. 



34.1 Fleming 1943 11360, 63:34 



formula: Naphrax 40, xylene 59, dibutyl phthallate 1 



notk: The resin mentioned is a high refractive index (1.7-1.8) naphthalene derivative, 

 the synthesis of which is fully described in the reference cited. 



34.1 Gray and Wess 1951a 11300, 71:197 



formula: ethyl cellosolve 68, isoamyl phthalate 12, polyvinyl acetate 20

34.1 Groat 1939 763, 74:1 



formula: toluene 40, "nevillite 1" or "V" 60 



note: The nevillites are mostly hydrogenated coumarones of which clarite (nevillite 1) 

 is the best known. Nevillite V is a naphthaline polymer.
