4, Richmond and Pappel concluded from their analyses that 
there is contained in the butter-fat of the Egyptian buffalo, the 
glyceride of an acid which they did not identify, which, however, 
does not belong to the oleic series, but of which the lead salt is 
soluble in ether. My work has given results which might be inter- 
reted as indicating the presence of a similar glyceride in the 
getting accurate results by Muter’s method for the estimation of 
olein, If it should be found that such a glyceride is really present 
in considerable quantity, its estimation should prove a valuable 
criterion of buffalo butter-fat.
