G. The precipitate not taken up by the solution of sulphate of 
potassa, F’, was treated with hydrosulphate of ammonia and then with 
dilute hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric solution was treated 
with solution of potassa and the precipitate ignited. Its color was 
greyish white, without a tinge of red. It weighed 0-03 gramme. 
The foregoing results do not enable me to rely with confidence 
On the proportion of any ingredient except the columbic acid. The 
other principles I regard only as having been ascertained approxi- 
matively.
