Abstract
Journal of the Chemical Society, July, 1876.—Mr. Thomas Carnelley, B.Sc., communicates the results of investigations recently made by him, on the action of water and of various saline solutions on copper. Mr. Carnelley has found that distilled water dissolves an appreciable amount of copper, on standing in contact with the metal even for the comparatively short space of an hour.—Mr. M. M. Pattison Muir, F.R.S.E., gives the second part of a paper on certain bismuth compounds. There are also two communications from Dr. Thudicum's Physiological Laboratory. The first is by Dr. Thudicum and C. T. Kingzett, on glycerophosphoric acid and its salts, as obtained from the phosphorised constituents of the brain. The second is by Dr. Thudicum, on some reactions of biliverdin. There are besides a note on the occurrence of benzene in rosin light oils, by Mr. Watson Smith, F.C.S., and a second paper by the same gentleman on a new method of preparing diphenyl and isodinaphthyl, and on the action at a high temperature, of metallic chlorides on certain hydrocarbons.
