It therefore seems probable that potassium ferricyanide is at 

 first reduced to ferrocyanide by the current. 



That reduction should occur at the anode or in the anode com- 

 partment is anomalous. It would perhaps be better to say that a 

 potassium amalgam had formed and in its decomposition hydrogen 

 had caused the reduction of the ferricyanide.
