Table 1X6. 



The next table contains the results obtained in a series when u = 4 

 and v raried as before, the calculated rates are obtained in a way 

 similar to the last, as the second differences were again approximately 

 constant : 



Table X. 



The numbers here again coincide fairly well except for the highest 

 values of -y, and this is consistent with the theory that the decom- 

 position of chloric acid by itself is checked when the quantity of 

 hydrochloric acid is large, for here we have a larger quantity of 

 chloric acid produced than we had before, and a larger amount of the 

 hydrochloric acid is required before the decomposition of the chloric 

 acid alone is checked by the latter.
