tity to be as follows: 1.66; 1.43; i-^j; 1.15; 1.05 

 and .99. 



Having agitated 2 mcafures of inflammable air in dif- 

 tilled water an hour, 1 obferved that, after being dimi- 

 nilhed, it was increafed in bulk, and after fome time it 

 occupied the fame fpace as at firft. Being then examin- 

 ed, it was not at all inflammable, but had no hxed air in 

 it, and it was of the liandard of 1.13, when the air in 

 the water was i.or. 



I agitated 5 meafures of inflammable air in a trough 

 of cold water fifteen minutes, when it was reduced to 2 

 meafures, then in warm water, when it began to increafe. 

 After agitating it 20 minutes in this warm water, it was 

 5 meafures ; and being then examined it was not at all 

 inflammable, and of the llandard ot 1.37. The air from 

 the water was common air. 



After agitating the fame quantity of inflammable air 

 the fame time in cold water it was diminilhed to 3 mea- 

 fures, without any appearance ot increale. There was 

 then nothing inflammable in ft, and it was of the ftand- 

 ard of 1.37. 



Dephlogiflicated air was foon reduced by this procefs 

 to a much lower flandard. After agitating 3 mcafures 

 of this air, of the fl:andard of 0.05 with 2 equal mea- 

 fures of nitrous air, the quantity was 1.66 of the ftand- 

 ard of 1.17. Three meafures of this air after five mi- 

 nutes agitatioii was 1.2 1. After five minutes more it 

 was 0.96, and being then examined, it was of the ftand- 

 ard of 1 .7 with equal meafures of nitrous air. 



After agitating a mixture of 2 meafures of inflamma- 

 ble air and one of dephlogiilicated five minutes, it was re- 

 duced to 1.98 ; after five minutes more to 1.46, and af- 

 ter another five minutes to 1.7, when it extinguifhed a 

 candle.
