 Amer. Ghem. Jour., xi, October, 1889, pp. 474-480. 



Very thin fibers of finely divided silver chloride were obtained on strips of thin glass and 

 exposed to sunlight, some in a current of hydrogen, others in the free air. A loss of 

 weight amounting to about 6 per cent of the chloride was observed. The experiments 

 tend to prove that — 



1. There is a loss of chlorine in sunlight amounting to at least 6 per cent. 



2. The loss in weight is equal to the weight of chlorine set free, as shown by direct experi- 



ment. 



3. There is no formation of oxychloride. The research is not completo, but the results have 



been established by subsequent work.
