10 grams of each material wdre extracted t ether. This fraction gave organic lead. The re traction was then extracted three times with l!l gave most of the inorganic lead. The, residue of was then dried and ignited, in the Muffle furnace dissolved in 1!1 hot hydrochloric acid and gave lead. After the preparation of the fractions, t each were made according to our ugual procedure.
