A glance at this Table shows how very few representatives of the series of alcohols 
Can Han Oa, and acids Ca„ H2n_2 O4, have as yet been observed. The progress of science 
will not fail to till up the numerous gaps. 
Even now some bodies are known which are most intimately connected with the pre- 
ceding series. Indeed, cinnamic alcohol and cinnamic acid belong to a group of sub- 
stances bearing to the aromatic alcohols and acids the same relation which obtains 
between the allyl-compounds and their homologues, and the alcohols and acids of the 
fatty bodies.

From this Table, again, it is manifest how many substances remain still to be discovered 
in this direction. Cinnamic acid contains two equivalents of hydrogen less than the acid
