Det vil af dette Bohligs Arbeide sees, at han allerede 
Sommeren 1878 over det samme Thema bar publiceret en 
Afliandling, 1 som jeg ikke tidligere bar været opmærksom 
paa. Den vilde dog ikke bavt nogen væsentlig Indflydelse

those I have described as occurring in .sea-water. These 
transformations- having accordingly been observed by two 
chemists working independently of each other, may with-, 
out further proof be accepted as facts. 
From the said paper, it appears that Bohlig pub-

1878, 1 to which my attention bad not previously been 
directed. It would not, however, have materially in- 
fluenced my experiments, the most important of the obser- 
vations that led me to the results which Bohlig was the 
first to describe, having been instituted 3 or 4 months 
before his^ first treatise bad left the press.
