B. HALOID SALTS. 
Ist. Acid haloid salts.(71) 
An acid haloid salt is composed of a haloid salt, united to the hy- 
dracid of its halogen radical; its composition will be sufficiently well 
expressed by the method exhibited in the following examples. 
Acid auric chloruret. Chloride of gold and muriatic acid. 
Acid potassic fluoruret. Fluoride of potassium and hydrofluoric 
Acid ferrous cyanuret. acid. 
Acid ferric cyanuret. ~ 
Basic plumbic chloruret. Tribasic plumbic chloruret. 
Bibasic plumbic cbloruret. Quadribasic plumbie chloruret.

conveys an erroneous idea and leads me to suppose that the French translator, has

a halogen body with a Jess electro-negative body (chlorides, &ce.) 2nd. Acid hal

combined with bases. « Since these acid haloid salts contain the hydracid of the hal-
