of 0*35 cubic inches. 100 parts being exposed to lime wa- 

 ter, 46 parts were taken up. 



14 July, Temp. 65°, P. 29*93. 



Exp. 17. Another being in the same situation in 1*14 

 cubic inches of oxigen gas, the scale indicated 1-81. In 20 

 minutes it had diminished to 1'30, an absorption of 0*51 

 of a cubic inch having taken place. The jar being by accident 

 overset, it could be proceeded with no farther. 



Same Time. 



Exp. 18. Another being placed in 1*30 cubic inch of 

 oxigen gas, by the scale it was then 2*13. In 20 minutes 

 it had diminished to 1'70 cubic inch. 100 parts by lime 

 water were reduced to 32 parts, which, exposed to the test 

 for oxigen, left only 13 parts of nitrogen.

Same Day. 



Exp. IQ. A mouse being put into 1*15 cubic inches of 

 oxigen gas in the same way, the scale, after it was in, indi- 

 cated 2*00 cubic inches. At the expiration of 20 minutes 

 it was reduced to 1'47 cubic inch. 100 parts by lime wa- 

 ter were reduced to 43 parts ; and these, exposed to the test 

 for oxigen, lost 22 parts, leaving 21 of nitrogen. 



Same Day. 



Exp. 20. Another being put into 1*10 cubic inch of 

 oxigen gas, the scale indicated 1*80 cubic inch ; and at 

 the end of 20 minutes 1'50, there being an absorption of 

 - 50 of a cubic inch. Out of 100 parts lime water took up 

 51 parts: the remaining 49 parts being submitted to the 

 test for oxigen, 31 parts disappeared, leaving 18 parts of 

 nitrogen. 



Same Day. 



Exp. 21. Another being placed in 4 cubic inches of 

 atmospheric air, the scale then indicated 4'70. In 20 mi- 

 nutes it had decreased to 4*35 cubic inches. 100 parts be- 

 ing then tried with lime water, 13 parts were taken up; and 

 ©f the remaining 87 parts exposed to the test for oxigen, 



6 parts
