the zyv'o0y according to Bunsen’s scheme ; in the 
second series although hot water was also used in washing, one 
may be secured while its solvent action is prevented. The 
results are given in the following table.

It is evident from these results that when great accuracy !8 
required the solubility of chloride of silver may become @ 
very serious source of error in determinations of chlorine, and 
in ran investigation * of the atomic weight of antimony this
