-As the mono-nitrie phenetole has not yet been obtained, we are with- 
Out the original alkaloid phenetidine, of which the above isa derivative. 
To render the relation of these remarkable substances more clear, 
we subjoin a table, containing also the previously known homologues.

Compounds. Since that paper was written, M. Wurtz has more fully 
described the properties of Methylamine and Ethylamine, and a. : 
added a new ammonia to the series Valeramine. tives s ie 
Methylamine, as well as the other new alkaloid, may be o — ro . a 
its hydrochlorate by the action of zinc, just as ammonia is obtaine 
rom sal-ammoniac. Thus prepared, methylamine is — ammo- 
niacal odor, condensing into a liquid at about 32 F. Its — ive 
little greater than that of ammonia. It is the most soluble of all gases ; 
at 53 
° F., one vol. of water dissolves 1040 vols. ; at 77°, 959 vols.
