54 CHEMICAL STATICS 



the equivalent mass of baryta, the resultant solution of free 

 clupein has a strongly alkaline reaction (12) (43). 



Salmin carbonate yields an alkaline solution owing to hydro- 

 lytic dissociation (43). Taylor states that the salmin yielded by 

 the Pacific salmon is identical with that which is yielded by the 

 European salmon. 



The protamins readily form " basic salts" in which the pro- 

 portion of H 2 SO 4 to protein is less than in the fully neutralized 

 compound; they also tend to combine with water to form vari- 

 ous hydrates. Thus salmin sulphate which is insufficiently dried 

 has the formula C 3 oH 5 7Ni 7 06, 2 H 2 SO 4 + H 2 O.
