Since tlie fraction H, which distilled between 26o-2/0 0 c. and 

 and most of it more exactly at 264, 0 as a second trial showed, 

 exceeded all the other fractions in quantity and showed the very 

 agreable odour of the wood in a high degree, I subjected it to 

 an elementary analysis with the following result : 



I. 0.1740 g. yielded 0.1940 g. H 2 O, and O.5376 g. CO.. 

 corresponding to 12.38% H, and S4.43 of C. 



II. 0.2414 g. yielded 0.2453 g. H 2 0, and 0.7542 C0 2 corres- 

 ponding 1 1.3 % H, and 85.2 % C. 



This would correspond tolerably well to the formula
