tains no water than that is combined with that liquid. I shall use for 
such a case the term anhydrous ; anhydrous sulphuric acid must be 
understood to mean sulphuric es containing no water, 
sulphuric acid, to mean a compound in definite proportions of the 
acid with water, and dilute sulphuric acid any mixture of the acid 
with water. 
SULPHOSALTS.(61) 
I shall enumerate only the classes of sulphosalts, since the indi- 
vidual salts have a nomenclature corresponding to the similar salts in 
the series of sulphates, which has just been given. 
Sulphohydrates.(62) Sulphocarbonates.(65) 
Sulphocyanates.(63 Sulphophosphates. 
Sulphocyanhydrates.(64) Sulphophosphites.(66)

oxybases sulphuretted hydrogen on e ther,) play the parts of bases in the 
sulphosalts. The ee containing greater proportions of sulph not pes-
