weighed. Since the ash in different samples varies, the ash insoluble 
in hydrochloric acid was calculated back to the original sample. 
Phosphorus in the ash. — The filtrate from the last determination 
was made up to volume in a graduated flask, and phosphoric acid 
determined in an aliquot according to the official volumetric method 
(Jour. A. O. A. C, Vol. 1, No. 4, Pt. II, p. 3), allowing the solution 
to stand 30 minutes or longer at about 45°. The phosphorus, reported 
as P 2 5 , is calculated on the original sample. In many cases the P 2 5 
was determined gravimetric ally (Jour. A. O. A. C, Vol. 1, No. 4, Pt. 
II, pp. 1-3).
