NOTES ON JAPANESE VEGETABLE OILS. 7 



It appears therefore that linoleiiic acid or its isomer is 

 contained in this oil. 



The mixed acids were heated with aniline as in the pre- 

 paration of the anilide of elseomargaric acid ; a white non- 

 crystalline snbstance of m. p. 60-62° was thns obtained. The 

 acetic acid solution of this anilide absorbs bromine, so that it 

 is still an unsaturated compound.
