~Chlorination Statistics.~--It has been pointed out by a correspondent--to whom we express our indebtedness--that we have made a mistake in calculating the proportion of lignone from the ratio of the Cl combining with the fibre substance or lignocellulose (p.ct), to that of the Cl _present in_ the isolated lignone chloride (p.ct.). The lignocellulose combines with chlorine in the ratio 100 : 8, but the lignone chloride _containing_ 26.7 of chlorine means that, neglecting the hydrogen substituted, 73 of lignone combine with the 27 of chlorine approximately. On the uniform percentage basis the calculated proportion of lignone would be 8/37, or a little over 20 p.ct. In regard to the proportion of hydration attending the resolution, we have shown on constitutional grounds that this must be relatively small. Assuming approximately the formula C_{19}H_{22}O_{9} for the lignone residue as it exists in combination, and the anhydride formula for the cellulose, these revised statistics now appear, as regards the carbon contents of the lignocellulose: Cellulose, 44.4 C; lignone, 57.8. 80 x 44.4 / 100 = 35.52 20 x 57.8 / 100 = 11.56 _____ 47.08 p.ct. C in lignocellulose. These conclusions are in accordance with the experimental facts, and, taken together with the new evidence we have accumulated from a study of the lignocellulose esters, we may sum up the constitutional points as follows: The lignocellulose is a complex of Cellulose alpha Cellulose beta Lignone 65 p.ct. 15 p.ct. 20 Allied to the normal Yielding furfural One-third of which celluloses approximately 50 p.ct. is of benzenoid type The lignone contains but little hydroxyl. The celluloses are in condensed hydroxyl union with the lignone, but the combination occurs by complexes of relatively large molecular weight. DIE CHEMIE DER LIGNOCELLULOSEN--EIN NEUER TYPUS. W. C.
