to the Royal Dublin Society, on acement which
he obtains by melting together in an iron vessel,
two parts tby weighD of common pitch, with
one part of sutta-percha. 1t forms homoge-
nous fluid, which is much more manageable for
many useful purposes than gutta pereha alone,
and which, AFTER being poured into cold water,
may be easily wiped. dry, and kept for use.
