From this data the curves in Fig. II were plotted. 



An examination of the curves in Fig. II shows at 

 least five components with possible traces of others. 

 The first component is largely separated in Fractions 

 i and 2; Fractions 3 to .7 contain at least two constitu- 

 ents and Fractions 8 and 9 two more. The sharp 

 breaks between Fractions 2 and 3 and 7 and 8, particu- 

 larly noticeable in the specific gravity curves, indicate 

 a sharp separation of the constituents at these points.

Fractions i and 2 were again redistilled, and with the 

 exception of a small amount of resinous matter, prac- 

 tically all distilled at the boiling point of pinene. This 

 well-cooled, dry oil was saturated with hydrochloric 

 acid and after some time almost completely solidified;
