If not all, of the material of these papers I should Ilk to reserve the right to make us of the material for this purpose. I am sending you herewith another article which is properly to be grouped with the four papers which I have sent yon, sine It is the logical sequence in the application of our data to the industrial problems Involved In lead compounds.
