[54] Since the above was written, Mr. Maxwell Lyte has communicated to the 'Photographic Journal' (vol. iii.) a dry process in which a modified Gelatine is used. The change is produced by boiling a solution of gelatine with dilute Sulphuric Acid, which is afterwards neutralized and removed by means of chalk. The result is to destroy the gelatinizing property of the animal substance; the solution retains its fluidity on cooling, and the necessity of employing artificial heat in drying the plates is avoided.
