182 EXAMINATION OF A NAPHTHA FROM LIME-SOAP. 



termining these corrected boiling points being the same as that already described by 

 one of us * Most of the statements concerning " heaps " and quantities of products ob- 

 tained refer to the series of distillates, — each representing one degree centigrade of 

 temperature, — which were in our possession at the moment, already mentioned, when 

 the process of fractional condensation ceased to be employed. 



Amylene = C 10 H 10 . — The most volatile product obtained from the naphtha, boiled 

 at 33.5°, and the fraction collected between 33 £° and 35°, persisted, after repeated re- 

 distillation, in commencing to boil at 33 £°, there being evidently no appreciable quan- 

 tity of any substance more volatile than this in the naphtha. The quantity of this 

 product was small, the sum of all the final fractions between 33 |? and 55°, not amount- 

 ing to 100 c. c. The summit of the heap was at 35°-37°, this fraction amounting to 

 about 25 c. c; the fractions 37°-39° and 39°-41° were also tolerably large, the latter 

 being larger than the former. But above 41° all the fractions were exceedindv small, 

 as was also the fraction 33£°-35.° 



The fraction 35°-37° was selected for analysis. After being treated with diluted sul- 

 phuric acid, and alkali, as above described, it was boiled upon metallic sodium. 



The dark sulphuric acid liquor which was obtained during the purification, became 

 milky from separation of an oil, and evolved an agreeable, fruity odor when mixed 

 with water. 



After the purification, the body boiled, in an ordinary retort containing bits of so- 

 dium, at 34.5°-35.6° (corrected). 



On combustion, 0. 1215 grm. of the substance gave 0.1682 grm. water, and 

 0.3796 grm. carbonic acid, or

 contained a portion of that variety of hydride of amyl, obtained by Schorlemmer f and 

 by Warren, J which boils at 38.° But the quantity of material at our disposal is so
