Alloys of Nickel and Tin.* — E. Yigouroux prepared three alloys 

 containing respectively 7, IG, and 26 p.c. nickel, and investigated the 

 action of acids upon them. By alternate digestion with nitric acid and 

 fusion with potassium hydrate the compound NiSn was isolated. When 

 the pure metals are heated together up to the melting point of tin in the 

 proportion 2 of tin to 1 of nickel (NiSn) a homogeneous melt is obtained 

 with great evolution of heat. 



L. Guillet t has determined the equilibrium diagram and promises a 

 detailed account. Four solid solutions and one compound NiSn are 

 formed. Two of the solutions (a and a' containing 0-5 p.c. tin) are 

 identical in composition, but differ in that one is magnetic, the other not. 

 The P solid solution contains 38-41 p.c, the y, 55-60 p.c. tin.
