As will be seen, a line can be drawn (dotted in the figure) 

 which connects the points found and agrees fairly well in form with 

 that 0Ï 1 LQ in Fig. 1 . 



The alkalinity of the liquid phase increases but very little, or is 

 almost constant (0.483, 0.580, 0.610, 0.604), but the polarisation 

 increases strongly (7.00, 8.00, 8.90, 9.30), up to a definite value 

 (9.68, 9.63), after which ihe alkalinity begins to decrease (0.464, 

 0.336). At the same time the analytical results of the "residues" 

 and the figures for the 7o of trisaccharate in the solid phases cal- 

 culated with the aid thereof show that the quantity of the trisac- 

 charate in the deposit is decreasing.

Fig. 2. 

 The polarisation of the liquid phases ought to rise to the same 

 value as that of the original liquid, namely 9.90, whereas only 9.68 

 is reached. This deviation is probably due to decomposition of the 

 sugar. The contents of the bottles which had l^een shaken for a long 

 time were of yellow colour: N". 3 slightly so but N". 4, 5 and 6 

 quite distinct.^ In fact the line which, in fig. 2, connects the liquid 

 phase with the residue, deviates in N». 4 and 5 from the point of 

 intersection of the other lines.
