22 : 2 Sodium Salt. — It has already been mentioned that, in die 

 preparation of the acid sodium salt of the 24-atom series, a white very 

 slightly soluble crystalline powder is formed in greater or less quantity. 

 This salt cannot be recrystallized for analysis, and must therefore be 

 washed with cold water to remove traces of the soluble acid salt. Hot 

 water dissolves it in small proportion only, the solution remaining milky 

 for a long time. In one preparation of this salt, — ■

22: 4 Barium Salt. — This salt was obtained by mixing neutral 

 sodic tungstate and hydro-disodic phosphate in the proportion of 24 : 2, 

 neutralizing with acetic acid, and adding a solution of baric chloride. 

 Small sharp prismatic crystals formed after a short time, soluble in hot
