Identification of the liquid acid. 
The liquid acid had an iodine value of 89'6 and on distillation under 
diminished pressure (100mm.) was found to pass over at 280°. This 
acid was evidently practically pure oleic acid since it had the follow- 
mg constants : — 0'8889, 1‘4583, iodine value 89'6. The 
barium salt which appeared to be quite ' homogeneous gave the 
following figures on analysis : — 
0'2315 gave 0’0796 BaS 04 Ba=20'2. 
C 36 H 66 O 4 Ba requires Ba=19-6 per cent. 
Summary. 
The seeds of <S^orm rohws^a yield 16-4 per cent, of a fat resembling 
Borneo tallow. The yield of fat is too low for these seeds to be utilised 
as a source of fat. 
2. The acids present in the fat as glycerides are stearic and oleic 
acids.
