Abstract
IF, as your correspondent, Mr. Twigg, says, Riecken's electrolytic process has only been worked on a large scale during the last three or four months, it is not unnatural that Mr. Blount has omitted to describe it. In most cases Mr. Blount has endeavoured to describe processes which are of proved utility, and therefore it was hardly necessary to draw attention to the omission. Further, the number of patents on the subject of electrolytic gold refining is very large, so that it would be manifestly impossible to describe them all. Riecken's process is a very neat one, and should any of the readers of NATURE be interested in the subject, an excellent description is to be found in the “Jahrbuch der Electrochemie” (vol. v. p. 380).
