formed  in  the  first  equation,  thus  completing  the  reaction,  HIOC17 
H33C02H  +  HC1  =  C1IC17H33C02H  +  H20. 
Mr.  Arthur  Marshall,  the  author  of  this  paper,  differs  with  Wijs 
as  to  the  above  theoretical  reactions,  claiming  that  the  same  results 
can  be  secured  without  the  intervention  of  water.  He  proves  this 
by  making  a  solution  of  iodine  monochloride  in  dry  carbon  tetrachlo- 
ride, applying  it,  and  on  comparing  the  results  obtained  by  this 
solution,  with  those  obtained  by  Hiibl's  and  Wijs'  solutions,  finds 
that  almost  identical  results  are  obtained. — 1899,  J.  Soc.  Chem.
