 Neither of these varieties is dittiriilt of ilet<'<'tion, hut it is ollierwise in cusos of iin 
 admixture of invert sugar, a suhslance pnslueeil hv the action of dihite acids on raiie 
 suitar. Tills sort of adulteration has long btcn known, es|>e<'ially on thi' i-ontinent of 
 Euii)|ie, where the |ir<Mluet is sold under such names a^ ■ Turkish honey ', ' tahle honey ' 
 
 and ' prepared honey '. Not unfr 'itly it is nion Imnostlv ternusi ' sugar ho'iey ', 
 
 or ' artitioial honey," {KhiimI liiniiij). and some of it is said to )ia\e come from America, 
 in comi) miute from [Htrartiiie, and lals-llcd as ' pniiie American iMtney.' Itn ir, 'nufacture 
 has increaiMHl gr»'atly during the last ten yeafs. It is nrepare<l with *uch skill as to 
 laittlc the efforts of (ierman chemists to distinguiiih it from the genuine article, although 
 hoth the (ierman and the Ifi'lgian goveriunents have sought by every means to protect 
 the priKlurers of pure honey. A n>eent memoir, emanating from the Imperial <ierniaa 
 Health Itureau, acknowle<lge'- that the trade in this artificial honey is very '-nnsiderable, 
 and that the addition of invert tugar t<) genuine Ixmey I'annot Ik> (iete<-te<i. (Hm

 Whether it is likely that the last mentioned variety of ipurious honev is sold in 
 Canada, I am unable to state. I doubt whether invert-sugar iti manufactunsl in Canada, 
 and certainly it is not imported under that name. There is, however, a consideralile 
 importation of honey itaelf, which i* given in the Trade ant! Navigation Tables as

 It would seem quite possible that Home of this imported honey, upon which • duty of 3 
 cents per lb. haa to bie paid, may be of a spurious character. 
 
 The adulteration of honey by means <rf added water has alao to be taken into con- 
 nderition. The quantity in genuine honey seldom exceeds 20 per cant, and the max- 
 imum limit is not placed beyond 20 per cent by thme chemists who hare studied the 
 sul^jeot. 
 
 In Table I will be found all the informatiMi, as well as analytical retmlta, which is 
 available r^rdin|[ 99 samples of honey, which were collected in the c^ien mari^et Mid 
 subjected to examination here. Besides the vendor's name and addrees, and tboae of the 
 party from whom he is said to have procured the honey, there are given in a few cases 
 desisnations indicating qualitv. Umler the reaults vi examination are given tlie direct 
 sacdnarimeter reading, and the water percentage as tiie best discriminating tests for 
 separating the apparently genuine from the apparently adultmted samples. 
 
 The direct saochanmeter reading of tns 99 samples was olMerved in the sanw 
 manner as in testing samples of cane sugar or molasses, by means of the Schmidt 
 dc Haensch improved instrumoit with triple neld of vision. The number of degrees men- 
 tioned are therefore from observation of a 26.048 per cent solution in a 200 mm. tube. 
 It will be observed that the great majority of the gam|>les, 86 in number, give the levo- 
 rotatory readings, said to be indicative of pure honey when an admixture of invert-sugar 
 is excluded from consideration. It must not, however, b.? supposed that left hand 
 rotation, even in the absence of invert-sugar will infallibly indicate a genuine honey. 
 It is quite possible that himey, adulterated with a small proportion of glucose syrup,

 MEMORANDUM REOARDINO TUB BXAMIXATIOm RBFBRRBD TO IN TABLB It. 
 
 Tilt' sam|)les whose nuiiil)ejs are given in this table are those which sheweil linlit 
 handed rotation in the polariseopic; observation notfd in Table 1, and which were sub- 
 jected to further examination in onie- to aseert^in whether this Ixihavior was due to 
 glucose syrup or eune sugar, and, in the lHtt«?r ease to (iet^'rniine the quantity of cane 
 
 sugar present. , . . • 
 
 They were first examine<l by the t'lerget i>rocess tlie nature ot which is very clearly 
 described by Allen (Commercial Organic Analysis, 181)8: Vol. I, p. -JdO). The only 
 difference which has l)een made in the ecpiations there given is in the change by inversion 
 which instead of 141 has been placed at 142-7 in accordance with the more recent deter- 
 minations of Wohl. In Table II all the observations were given which are necessary for 
 calculating the cane sugar, the percentage of which is also stated. 
 
 The percentage of sucrose present in the samples of Table II was also ascertained 
 by the use of Fehling solutioi. the details of the process being as follows :— A five per 
 cent solution of the honey sample was first prepared. 
 
 (I.) For determining the reducing sugars 10 c.c.iii. of it, containing 0-;") grammes of 
 the original sample were treated direct with Fehling solution in excess. The weight of 
 the cuprous oxide produced multiplied by the factor 0-4861 and by 200 gave the per- 
 centage of reducing sugars present, stated as invert sugar. The name reducing sugar 
 applies to all the varieties of this substance which act upon Fehling solution with preci- 
 pitation of cuprous oxide. Dextrose, -grape sugar, starch sugar, levulose or fruit sugar, 
 the mixture of dextrose and levulose called invert sugar, and certain reducing substances 
 which form in the .syrup during the manufacture of sugar from the cane are all included 
 under " reducing sugars." The term excludes cane sugar which does not act upon Fehl-
