*The starch in the samples of wheat Nos. 1, 2,3, and 4 was also determined by way of control, by 
converting it into glucose and precipitating with Fehling’s solution. 
The resuits obtained in this 
way were slightly bizher than those above given by difference, viz: No. 1, 69.35 per cent.; No. 2, 71.76 
er cent.: No. 3, 70.45 per cent.; No. 4, 70.44 per cent.—an average excess of .73: per cent., which doubt- 
ess arose from the smal] portion taken in each case for determination with the copper solution, and the 
multiplication of the unavvidable error in work. :
