312 Messrs. Buckmaster and Gardner. Estimation of [Feb. 1, 



a four-shilling piece, which persisted to the end of the process. The 

 formation of this leather-like mass was only partially prevented by breaking 

 up the clot with a rod before distillation. The results of these experiments 

 are given in the following table.
