 resolution of compound bodies into simpler, or con- 

 stituent parts. A., Densimetric, analysis of a subject

 solution and thus estimating the amount of dissolved 

 matter. A., Gasometric, the determination of the 

 constituents of gaseous compounds, especially the 

 determination of the amount of oxygen in samples of 

 atmospheric air. A., Gravimetric, the quantitative 

 determination by weight of the elements of a body. 

 A., Organic, the determination of the elements of 

 matter formed under the influence of life. The 

 analysis of animal and vegetable tissues. A., Proxi- 

 mate, the determination of the simpler compound 

 elements into which a substance may be resolved. 

 A., Qualitative, the determination of the nature and 

 number of elements that compose a body. A., Quan- 

 titative, the determination of the proportionate parts 

 of the various elements of a compound. A., Spectral, 

 the determination of the composition of a body by means 

 of the spectroscope. A., Ultimate, the resolution of 

 a compound, not into its simpler constituents, but its 

 ultimate elements. A., Volumetric, the quantitative 

 determination of a constituent by ascertaining the 

 volume of a liquid required to complete a given re-
