Slight corrosion was apparent beneath the film. =Panel No. 2--Quick Process White Lead.= In the same condition as Panel No. 1. =Panel No. 3--Zinc Oxide.= Panel covered with thin lateral streaks of rust, due to the admittance of moisture in cracks caused by brittleness of film. Result doubtless due to insufficient amount of oil used with pigment. Removal of film shows steel very bright except where cracks have formed. =Panel No. 4--Sublimed White Lead.= Although sublimed white lead chalked very heavily, the chalked pigment seemed to be tenacious and adhered to the plate, presenting an excellent surface with absence of rust. Film of good color and quite elastic. =Panel No. 5--Sublimed Blue Lead.= In same condition as Panel No. 4, but color has slightly faded. =Panel No. 6--Lithopones.= Lithopone was early destroyed, as is usual with this pigment when used alone on exterior surfaces. It became rough and discolored, presenting a very blotchy appearance and disclosed the formation of rust working through the film. =Panel No. 7--Zinc Lead White.= In general good condition with the exception of the color, which is slightly dark. Medium chalking was apparent but only very slight corrosion appeared.
