Ash insoluble in HCL (‘‘ sand’’).—The residue from the ash deter- 
mination was transferred to a beaker, and digested with dilute hydro- 
chloric acid (water 100 cc., HCl, sp. gr. 1.19, 15 ce.) for two hours on 
the steam bath, then filtered and washed, and the residue ignited and 
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 de- 
termined in an aliquot according to the official volumetric method 
(Methods of Analysis, A. O. A. C., 2 ed., p. 3), allowing the solution 
to stand 30 minutes or longer at about 45°. The phosphorus, reported 
as P.O;, is calculated on the original sample. In many cases the 
P.O; was determined gravimetrically (Methods of Analysis, A. O. A. 
C2) edgy 9-2):
