Carvol. B.P. 215 — -20°. C 10 H 14 O. Separated from oil of carraway by 

 distillation. 



* The absorption still very considerable. 

 These specimens were from Dr. Gladstone's collection. 



Myristicol (Dr. Gladstone). — Derived from oil of nutmegs. On 

 this substance being distilled, there were two principal fractions : 



No. 1, boiling below 215° C. 

 No. 2, „ from 215° to 260°. 



The second portion was the better and much the larger part of the 

 liquid. The liquid diluted 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 times, 

 was photographed. The character of the absorption is such as to
