CLASS 5.-FULMINATE.
"Fulminate" means any chemical compound or mechan- ical mixture, whether included in the foregoing classes or not, which, from its great susceptibility to detonation, is suitable for employment in percussion caps or any other appliances for developing detonation, or which, from its extreme sensibility to explosion, and from its great instability (that is to say, readiness to undergo decomposition from very slight exciting causes), is especially dangerous.
Division 1.
This Division comprises such compounds as the fulminates of silver and of mercury, and preparations of these substances, such as are used in percussion caps; and any preparation consisting of a mixture of a chlorate with phosphorus, or certain descriptions of phosphorus compounds. with without the addition of carbonaceous matter, and any pre- paration consisting of a mixture of a chlorate with sulphur, or with a sulphuret, with or without carbonaceous matter.
Chloride of Nitrogen.
Diazobenzol.

CLASS 6.-AMMUNITION.
'Ammunition" means an explosive of any of the fore- going classes when enclosed in any case or contrivance, or otherwise adapted or prepared so as to form a cartridge or charge for small arms, cannon, or any other weapon, or for blasting, or to form any safety or other fuze for blasting, or for shells, or to form any tube for firing explosives, or to form a percussion cap, a detonator, a fog signal, a shell, a torpedo, a war rocket, or other contrivance other than a firework.
"Percussion cap" does not include a detonator.
"Detonator" means a capsule or case which is of such strength and construction and contains an explosive of Class 5 in such quantity that the explosion of one capsule or case will communicate the explosion to other like capsules or
cases.
"Safety fuze" means a fuze for blasting which burns and does not explode, and which does not contain its own means of ignition, and which is of such strength and construction and contains an explosive in such quantity that the burning of such fuze will not communicate laterally with other like fuzes.
