Animal Substances into a fatty Matter. 245 
different experiments ; particularly so, as the analysis of every 
part of the animal body, except the bones, is at present so in- 
complete ; but I hope that the time necessary for my medical 
pursuits, and the want of a complete chemical apparatus, will 
not render the simple facts I have here related less useful. 
I have not attempted to account for the various phenomena 
which appear in the experiments, because the facts seem too 
few to admit of any general conclusion. 
If the above experiments should appear to the Society worthy 
of their attention, the application of my former experiments, 
and the results of some which I hope to make, on some ani- 
mals that are placed under different circumstances favourable 
to their decomposition, shall be the basis of a future paper.
