 Eui-opeans Gentoo, an Indian language occupying the 

 fpace to the E. of the Mahratta, from near Cicacole, its 

 northern, to within a few miles of Pulicat, its fouthem 

 boundar)', with the intervention of a ft:ripe of fmall dimen- 

 fion. This fpace was divided into the Andra and Kalinga

TELLURIUM, in Chemi/lry. Add— This metal has 

 the property of combining with hydrogen, forming a gafeous 

 compound, to which the name of telluretted hydrogen gai 

 has been given. This compound was difcoTered by fir H. 

 Davy, and its properties were ' afterwards invelligated by 

 Berzelius. 



Telluretted hydrogen may be formed by mixing together 

 oxyd of tellurium, potafli, and charcoal, and expofing the 

 mixtm-e to the aftion of a red heat. It is then put into a 

 retort, diluted fulphuric acid is poured on it, and the beak 

 of the retort is plunged into a mercurial trough. A gas 

 comes over, which may be collected in glafs jars previoufly 

 fiUed with mercury. This gas is tranfparent and colourlefs, 

 and poflefles the mechanical properties of common air. It 

 has a fl;rong peculiar fmell, fomething like fulphuretted 

 hydrogen. It burns with a blueifh flame, and oxyd of 

 telluriura is depofited. It is foluble in water, and gives that 

 liquid a claret colour. Davj' was not able to determine 

 whether it reddens vegetable blues, but in other refpeds it
