50  C. G. Wheeler on the action of hypochlorous acid 
tions of ether. The etherial extracts are united and shaken 
with a concentrated solution of chlorid of amm onium, which 
takes up all the mercury chlorid, the ether i is then removed with 
operation a current of dried air is transmitted through the res- 
idue in order to more completely remove all traces of ether. . 
The body thus obtained is the product of the direct combina- 
tion of hydrated hypochlorous acid with oil of a. ge and 
on its combustion I obtained the following results
