[7] Since the above was written, I have received the Journal für Pract. Chemic., Heft III. Band LXIII. in which some late results by Heintz on this point are communicated. He artificially prepared chemically pure stearine from the acid and glycerine, by Berthelot’s process, and found that it had two melting points, first at 55°, then solidifying and melting again when the heat reached 71.6°.
