The following Tables (VIII. and IX) show the numerical result* of the u tion 



ikiw under consideration : — 



Table VIII. — Showing the conditions provided in Experiments on th< Decomposition 

 of Nitrogenous Organic Matter; and the amount and proportion of the original 



Carbon of the substance remaining alter the decompo ition, 0] given off during the 



process. 



Table IX. — Showing the conditions provided in Experiments on the Decomposition of 

 Nitrogenous Organic Matter; the amount and proportion of the original Nitrogen 

 remaining after the decomposition, or given off during the process ; together with 

 the amount evolved as Ammonia, or remaining in the products as such. 



A comparison of the results in Tables VII. and IX. will show that they are confirma- 

 tory of each other as to their more general indications. Both series agree in the entire 

 absence of any tangible relation between the varied circumstances of decomposition, and 

 the products of that decomposition.
