238 Biological Stains 



It should also be mentioned that the name emerald green, listed 

 on p. 142 as a synonym of brilliant green, should more correctly be 

 applied to a hydrated chromium oxide; while Victoria green is a 

 mixture of this compound with two other mineral pigments — 

 although mentioned elsewhere in this book (p. 141) as a synonym 

 of malachite green. These two pigments seem to have no biologic 

 use, but are mentioned here to avoid possible confusion with the 

 two dyes to which the same names have been given.
