    lupulina. Lupuline. The existence of this substance in the hop* has lately been remarked by M. Ives of New York. It had been described in France * tMM- PaJen and Chevallier found the cones of the French hop to consist of the following substances: I. Water; 2. An essential oil; 3. Superacetate of ammo- nia; 4. Carbonic acid; 5. A white vegetable matter, soluble in boiling water, (which when precipitated on cooling does not redissolve in that fluid); 6. Malate of lime; 7. Albumen; 8. Gum; 9. Malic acid; 10. Resin ; II. A peculiar green matter, the bitter principle of the’ hop; 12. A fatty matter; 13. Chlorophylle ; 14. Acetates of lime and ammonia; 13. Nitrate, muriate, and sulphate of potass; 16. Subcarbonate of potass; 17. Carbonate and phosphate of lime; 18. traces of phosphate of magnesia; 19. Sulphur; 20. Oxide of iron; and, 21. Silica. The Belgic and English hop, subjected to similar trials, yielded the same principles, but in different proportions. The French contained more essential oil than the Belgic, and less than the English. Hops, soon after picking, yield, cteteris paribus, more essential oil, and less resin than the old; a circumstance which induced MM. Payen and Chevallier to think that the oil is capable of being resini- fied.—Journal de Pharmacie, Juin, 1822.]
