O+PO5, agreeing when calculated from that salt directly, 
and also when it was analyzed as a control. This diflerence

- For the present I leave this part of my subject, and proceed to 
the results obtained from the legumin of peas. The method of 
preparation was the same as that employed for the almonds. 
- The first quantity analyzed was dissolved in ammonia before 
ing in alcohol and ether. A large quantity of a yellowish 
fatty substance was extracted by these last. ‘This legumin was 
nearly white, and gave the following results.

_One of the above determinations of phosphorus is as phosphate 
of baryta (2Ba0 +PO%) and the other by Berthier’s method. 
4he quantity seemed so very large that I made a third trial and 
obtained nearly the same per-centage again. ‘The second prepa- 
Tation was dissolved in ammonia after boiling in alcohol and 
ether. The result was interesting.
