1 Two analyses made. 



2 The product was seriously out of balance, although it showed no commercial shortage. It was sold 

 under a guarantee of 7 per cent ammonia (5.75 per cent nitrogen) and 6.86 per cent phosphoric acid, a 

 product usually known as a 7-15 tankage. It proved to be a mixture of bone and tankage testing 4.43 

 per cent nitrogen and 19.98 per cent phosphoric acid. The degree of fineness was very unsatisfactory; 

 20 per cent would not pass through a 2 m.m. sieve, and 37 per cent would not pass a 1 m.m. sieve. 



3 The phosphoric acid was guaranteed 25 per cent, which the manufacturers claim was an error in 

 printing. This undoubtedly is true, as 6 per cent ammonia and 25 per cent bone phosphate of lime (11.44 

 per cent phosphoric acid) represent a common grade of animal tankage.
