and obtained in crystals on the addition to the solution of several 

 times its volume of alcohol. After this process had been repeated 

 several times two determinations yielded as a mean

The substance baring this composition was recrystallised fo 

 times in the same way as before, after which analysis led to the 

 lowing results : 



I. 0-1407 gram substance gave 0*3571 CO, and 0'0762 H,0. 

 II. 1020 0-2589 CO, and 0-0560 H,0.

Want of material prevented further attempts at purification, 

 will be seen that methylphyllotaonin and ethylphyllotaonin appi 

 each other very closely in composition, as they also do in appe 

 and general properties. 



Phyllotaonin. 



This substance was obtained by saponification in the 

 formerly described, partly from methylphyllotaonin, partly 

 ethylphyllotaonin. After drying at 130 analysis yielded the fol 

 ing results : 



I. 0'1245 gram substance from methylphyllotaonin gave O'J 



CO, and 0'0675 H,O, 



II. 0*1921 gram substance from ethylphyllotaonin gave 

 CO, and 0'1062 H,0.

Mr. W. Joseland made two analyses of phyllotaonin, the resi 

 being as follows : 



I. 0-2076 gram substance gave 0'5239 CO, and 0-1093 H,0. 

 II. 0-2149 gram substance gave 24'10 c.c. N. at 22'5 and 951
