GLUCINA, in Chemijlry, the name of an earth. (See

GLUCINUM, the metallic bafis of glucina. When 

 glucina was heated by fir H. Davy with potaflium, that 

 metal was converted into potafh, and grey metallic particles 

 ■were obferved mixed with the potafli, which when put into

water gradually evolved hydrogen gas, and were converted 

 into glucina. This is all we know at prefent refpedinff

 Gold, in Chemijlry. A few particulars lately afcer- 

 tained refpefting this , metal deferve to be briefly noticed 

 here. 



Sulphur is ftated in the Cyclopxdia to exert no action 

 on gold, and this is true in ordinary cafes. But if an alka- 

 line hydrofulphuret be dropped into a folution of gold, a 

 black powder falls to the bottom, which is found to be a 

 fulphuret of gold ; and which, according to the experiments 

 of Bucholz and Oberkampf, is compofed of 



With refpeft to the oxyds of gold, there are flill very great 

 confuilon and uncertainty. According to Berzelius, who 

 is one of the moll recent experimentahils on gold, the purple 

 oxyd is a compound of 100 gold 4- 12.077 oxygen ; and 

 the protoxyd of 100 gold + 4.026 oxygen. On this fup- 

 pofltion, the weight ot an atom of gold, as eftimated by Dr. 

 Thomfon, will be 248.75, and this determination agrees 

 tolerably well with Oberkampf's analyfls of the fulphuret 

 of gold above-mentioned. Still, however, thefe refults are 

 by no means fatisfaftory.

 both natives of the Indian feas, viz. G. csruleus, or G. en- 

 tirely of a blue colour, about the iize of a tench, with a 

 blackifli call on the petloral fins ; body arched above, and 

 in a greater degree beneath ; fnout about one-feventh of the 

 whole fifh ; upper jaw larger than the lower ; the fides of 

 the mouth fmooth and blue, head and gill-covers plain, the 

 reil of the body covered with fcales,the lateral line through 

 its whole courfe marked with fmall ftreaks like Chinefe cha- 

 rafters : and G. variegatus, or variegated with red, yellow, 

 and blue ; a beautiful fifli, obferved by Commerfon about 

 the coails of Otaheite.
