The acid usually anh s to opaque verrucose masses; but on 
this occasion, the crystals formed were clear and brillia nt. The 
solution had in this, as in all the former cases, been boiled down 
to thin syrup, so that no trace of chlorin ne, or nitric acid, could 
possibly have remained to act on the ozone paper. The air in the
