istics as for iron plates. It is to be moreover re-
marked, that steel bars are always more than two
millimetres in thickness. Thus, for this reason

alone, steel bands, which shall not be more than

two millimetres thick, must pay, like plates, the

duty of 30f. Plates or disks of steel, simply cut
out either for circular or straight saws, or for any
other purpose, enter, as far as regards the applica-
tion of the treaty, into the class o plate steel; but
in order to be so classified, they must be neither
polished nor dentated, nor even made thin at the
edges, otherwise they would come under the denc-
