differing considerably in fusibility by subject- 
ing them, when contained in an alloy or mix- 
ture, to a degree of heat sufficient to melt the 
most fusible only, which then flows away, or 
liquates, from the unmelted mass. This process 
is of great antiquity, and was up to 1836 extensively used 
at Mansfeld in Prussia, In the treatment of argentiferous 
copper and lead ores. Lead containing antimony and some 
other metals is also partially freed from these and prepared 
for further treatment by a process of liquation. Also rft-
