The two first fillings of oxygen were with gas prepared by heating permanganate 
of potash contained in a glass tube and sealed to the i 
L’emainder of the apparatus. 
The desiccation was, as usual, by phosphoric anhydride. In the third and fourth 
fillings the gas was from chlorate of potash and had been stored over water.
