ACTION OF HALOGEN COMPOUNDS OF ETHYL AND AMYL, &C. 



And the association of this molecule with any alcohol hydrocarbon occasions the 

 production of an ammonium congener, which, as it exists in combination with 

 some electronegative element, may be written thus : — 



C« H 22 N 4 =(h 

 H 



C n H (n + !) 



+ N + X. 



In conclusion, I give a tabular view of the new compounds mentioned in the 

 preceding pages ; and, in doing so, I have adopted the termination " ium " for the 

 bases, in analogy with the name ammonium ; strychnia, the old name of the alka- 

 loid in English, being, it seems to me, the more appropriate designation for 

 the analogue of ammonia ; and it would be but consistent with the ammonium 

 theory, to look upon the alkaloid in entering into combination, with hydrochloric 

 acid for instance, as undergoing the same process as the volatile type, and to speak 

 of the new salt as chloride of strychnium. The products of this investigation, then, 

 are the following : —
