The voltage w as kept steady for the first six hours at4, and during the last hour and a half was raised to 5 volts. It willbe noticed also that the precipitation increased, especially betweenthe sixth and seventh hours. The silver content and the current fellsimultaneously, although the amperage did not fall quite as rapidly.

It will be further noticed that during therapid precipitation of the silver at the beginning of the experimentthe solution contained per cent cyanide, whereas at the end ofone and one-half hours it had increased to per cent. During thelast half hour it fell again to per cent. After a new charge of PRE] IMINAKV EXPERIMENTS. 59 KAgCy2, containing no free cyanide, had been added to replace theassay samples, the cyanide had again increased from to percent, falling slightty again at the end of one and one-half hours, andrising each time a
