The addition of acetic or nitric acid to the urine produced a copious amorphous precipitate, soluble in excess of nitric acid and on the application of gentle heat. On subsequent cooling a precipitate again fell, and was found to consist of yellow halberts of uric acid mixed with fine granular matter. No precipitate was obtained on boiling. No albumen. There was large excess of urea. Mr. Stewart obtained good reactions of iodine, combined, not free, and of indican. A day later the specific gravity had fallen to 1025; the other actions were a before, 69.
