XXVII. Carbonate of baryta is soluble in 14137 parts of cold, 
in 15421 of boiling water. Carbonate of strontia in 18045 parts 
cold water. Carbonate of lime in 10601 of cold and 8834 of 
boiling water.* 
XXVIIL Oxalate of baryta with one atom of water is soluble 
in 200 parts of cold or boiling water.t 
Oxalate of strontia with one atom of water is insoluble in wa- 
tert—even in boiling water.$ 
xalate of magnesia with two atoms of water only very slight- 
ly soluble in water.|| ,

XXX. Sulphovinate of baryta is soluble in 0-92 parts of water 
at 17° C.tt 
_ Sulphovinate of lime is soluble in 0:8 parts of water at 17° C.$$ 
XXXI. Acid urate of baryta is insoluble in water. That of 
strontia somewhat soluble in hot water. That of lime of diffi- 
cult solubility. That of magnesia, is soluble in 3500-4000 parts 
of cold. and 150-170 parts of boiling water.|||| 
XXXII. Neutral alloxanate of baryta is less soluble than the 
corresponding salts of lime and magnesia. 
XXXIIL The above salts of lime and magnesia are somewhat 
soluble in alcohol. - The salt of baryta-is not. 
IV. Ferrocyanid of barium (Ba,Fe Cy,) dissolves in 
xXx 
584 parts cold,*** 1800,++ and in 116 parts of boiling water.{tt

boiling water.$$$ 
Ferrocyanid of calcium deliquesces in the air.|\|||| 
Ferrocyanid of magnesium with 12 atoms of water dissolves 
in 3 parts of water.119 
It is to be regretted that other properties, including specific 
gravity, specific heat and light-refracting and heat-conducting 
power have been so little studied. Still, enough of correspondence 
and gradation among the properties of the compounds 0 this 
group has been shown to establish the general proposition that 
the intensities of their chemical attributes are in the order of 
the atomic weights of the metals, and lead to the conviction 
_ that other attributes might be found to be in similar gradation © 
intensity.
