The two formulæ represent salts of almost identical composition, and no way has been found of deciding which formula is the better (cf. Knorre, J. pr. [2] 27, 83). The acid tungstates of this series are more easily formed and crystallise better than the other acid salts ; they are generally called paratungstates, following the suggestion made by Marignac.
