Ketoximes. A. Kétz and O. Wunstorff!) have investigated the action of A: 
upon ketoximes with the following oximes: acetoxime, benzophenone oxime, aceto- seth y 
phenone oxime, desoxybenzoine oxime, cyclohexanone oxime, benzoin oxime, methyl- a 
1-isonitroso-4-cyclohexanone-3 and isonitroso camphor. The action of heat in a dry 
current of carbon dioxide has the following effects: 1. distillation or sublimation of — 
the oximes without decomposition; 2. decomposition into ketone, nitrogen and am- 
monia (ketone-decomposition); 3. decomposition into nitriles and alcohols (nitrile- 
_ decomposition). At 240° isonitrosocamphor showed nitrile-decomposition as well as . 
ketone-decomposition, the following decomposition-products being obtained: dimethyl- 
heptylenic acid nitrile, camphoric acid anhydride, and ammonia. 3 
Benzylisosulphocyanide. In a lecture delivered before the 85th Congress of 
German Naturalists and Physicians held at Vienna, Schneider’) also stated that he 
had made attempts to isolate the glucoside of benzylcsosulphocyanide which occurs 
in common garden cress. Although he had not yet completed his experiments, he 
had already ascertained that the sugar-constituent of the glucoside of garden cress % 
(Lepidium sativum, L.) represents grape-sugar. The glucoside of Indian cress, however, 
does not contain grape-sugar but a polysaccharide which is incapable of being reduced 
and which has not yet been closely identified.
