Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed beginning with the front cover and ending on the last page with « printed or illustrated impres- sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All other original copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, and ending on the lest page with a printed or illustrated impression. Les images suivantes ont iti reproduites avec le plus grand soin. compte tenu de la condition et de la nettet* de l'exemplaire filmA. et en conformity avec les conditions du contrat de filmaga. Les exemplaires originaux dont la couverture en pepier est imprimAe sont filmis en commenpant par le premier plat et en terminrnt soit par la derni4re page qui comporte une empreinte d'impression ou d'illustration, soit par le second plat, selon le cas. Tous les autres exemplaires originaux sont filmAs en commenpant par la premiere page qui comporte une empreinte d'impression ou d'illustration et en terminant par la derniire pege qui comporte une telle empreinte. The last recorded frame on eech microfiche shall contain the symbol —^- {meening "CON- TINUED"), or the symbol V (meening "END"), whichever applies. Un dee symboles suivents apparaitra sur la derniAre image de cheque microfiche, selon le cas: le symbole ^«' signifie "A SUIVRE", le symbole V signifie "FIN". Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure ere filmed beginning in the upper left hend corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required. The following diagrams illustrate the method: Les cartes, planches, tableaux, etc.. peuvent etre filmis A des taux de reduction diffirents. Lorsque le document est trop grand pour etre reproduit en un seul cliche, il est filmi i partir de Tangle supirieur gauche, de gauche ^ droite, et de haut en bas, en prenant le nombre d'images n^cessaire.

Sib,— I beg to report upon 76 samples of Mustard, collecteKtimation of the fixed oil in the (iniNhe!«!nt to the extent of al)out 1 .5 |)6r tent, in hiack mustard setsi, and is practically abe»nt from white mustard. This latter contains imly traces of volatile oil as such, while aljout half of one per cent is presi-nt in the hiark seeeen sai.l, that the better way of valuing mustard, would \>e h\ direct estimation of it« volatile oil, after a treatment cr-n verting potassium myronpte into this last. It is found in practice, that although the white mustard N(>«>d coi.'ains no potassium myronate, its presence in admixture with the black »eed assists in the generation of volatile oil from tl e latter ; and for this reason the two varieties are g. -.ind together. This is due to the fact that a ferment (myrosin) whose presence determines the i>on- version of potassium rayronateinto volatile oil of mustard, is more largely pre.sent in white than in black mustard, although the glucotiide (ninujrin) upon which it pets, to develop the volatile mI is practi illy absent from white mustjird. A glucoside (Sinalbin\*exisU in white inusUrd, winch, when acted upon by water in presence of myrosin, yields an oil (Sinalbin mustard o'A) which has the pungent, burning taste, and vesicating properties of the volatile oil of black mu^lard ; but this oil is only sliijhtly volatilized with steam, and its presence does not materially interfere with the estimation of volatile mustanl oil, (Allylisothiocyanate). From the work of Pies.se and SUnsell already (pioted, F. Sutton (Allen's Com- mercial Organic Analysis ; vol. Ill, part .{, p. 116) ; Schlicht (Zeits. Anal. Chero. XXX.
