The analyses agree fairly well with the formula 



24 WO3 . P2O5 . 3 BaO . 3 H^O + 43 aq, 

 or, 



W,,PAi(Ba0^3(H0), + 43 aq. 



The same salt is formed when two atoms of 12 : 5 sodic tungstate are 

 boiled for a time with two atoms of sodic phosphate and chlorhydric 

 acid is added in excess. Baric chloride then gives after a time crys- 

 tals exactly similar to those described above. In a salt prepared in 

 this manner, —

The phosphoric oxide determinations are corrected in both analyses. 

 The percentage of baric oxide as determined by difference, which is 

 the more accurate method, is 6.53. The salt effloresces with extraordi- 

 nary rapidity, so that it is very difficult to dry it for analysis by pres- 

 sure between folds of woollen paper. 



Twenty-two Atom Series. — The phospho-tungstates containing 22 

 atoms of tungstic oxide to 1 of phosphoric oxide are represented by 

 apparently well-defined salts of potassium, sodium, and ammonium. 

 I have not succeeded in preparing the corresponding acid. As already 

 stated, Scheibler has given provisionally the formula
