‘talline compound containing zinc-ethyl and sodium-ethyl formed. This — 
compound is soluble in excess of zinc ethyl, and on transmitting a current 
of carbonic acid over it, great heat is evolved ; zinc-ethyl distils off and the 
contents of the bulb form an amorphous white solid. This solid mr 
principally of propionate of soda, the reaction being expressed by the 
equation 
C204+4+NaCuHs=CcHs NaOs. 
In this manner we have a synthesis a to the welkkoete 
analysis: of the fatty acids 8 some years since by Kolbe—Quart.
