Silver Acetate, Ag. C2 Hz Oz 167. 



2 C Oa -, Ag=8S : 108^0.81 482. Change 76 low. 

 Subst. No. C Oa Ag. Analyt. Ratio. Excess. 



Mean, Subst. A. ; o.Si 583 i high, 



which corresponds to Ag = 107.9987. 



Silver Oxalate, Aga. Cz 04 = 196. Same process; burned 

 quietly when mixed with pure sand. 



Clarke gives these six determinations under one heading, 

 without discrimiation; but a glance at the result would show 

 any one that the first three are entirely different from the 

 last three. Not having considered these oxalate determina- 

 tions of equal importance with the acetate determinations, 

 studied by me in the original publication for my paper, 

 printed pp. 195-198 of my True Atomic Weights, I cannot 

 now refer to the original. 



But Sebelien gives all the data we need, pp. 81-82. He 

 says in three determinations Maumene noticed some red 

 fumes, the oxalate having been obtained by precipitating the 

 nitrate by oxalic acid; hence these first three are not even 

 considered by Sebelien.
