Mr. W. C. Robarta-Austin remarks that th importance of the isomeric and allotropic states has been much neglooted in the case of metsis. Jonto and Lynn Playfair showed, in 1846, that metals la different allotropic states possess differ sut atanic volumes, and Matthiessen, la 1860, was led to annoinde that in ortni cesed where metals are altered they pass fotoallotropia states. Instances of allotropy in pare metals are: Bol ley's land, which oxidizes readily lo air; Batat zenberger's copper; Pritsche's in, which falls to powder in very cold weather; Gore's antimony Grabau's palladium; and sitotroph nickel Jade haisa proved that when fras is released from its ataolgam by distilling away the merry, the metallic iron fakes frana exposure to air, and is, therefore, clearly different from ordinary irou. More recent examples, it will be remembered. Per steamship Sutlejaled on the lith are the two anrious allotropia form of silver jub dnscribed by Les.
