![H9 very minute earthy residuum * when calcined on pla- tinum foi] or mica. Insoluble in water or absolute alcohol when cold, but soluble in dilute alcohol at the boiling point. In- soluble in ether, and the oils both fixed and essential. It is deposited on cooling from the boiling solution in dilute alcohol, and appears of a pale flesh colour. It is- dissolved by very dilute nitric acid, and the solution rendered turbid by tincture of galls and ferroprussiate of potash. When this discovery was made the author was absent from England; it is much to be hoped that he will make further experiments on the subject. The following substances have been noticed in mi- nute quantity in the blood: viz. silica, manganese, copper, and titanic acid. An account of my experi- ments regarding the presence of the last-mentioned sub- stance, may be seen in the Philosophical Magazine fo^ March, 1835. Fatfi/ Matters of the Blood. Besides the fatty matters which are contained in the serum of blood, and which were first pointed out by Dr. Babington, we can procure others by the action of ether on the mixture of fibrin, albumen, and red parti- cles. The best process for preparing these fats is a& follows : — * This would render it impossible that red particles formed any part of the mixture, even if subrubrfnc were a compounded substance; for liae- matosine would yieid a ferruginous ash.
