Azote is the primary element of the animalbody, sor it may be extrae ted frona almost every part of the animal, by means of the nitrous ac id, this having a greater amnity Uilli the elements iliari the ago te itself. The naucus, jelly,

membranes, tendonS, ligamentS, and cartilages,

The grea es quantit of agote is obtained si ona the coagulable lymphof the blood, and frona muscle. The fessa ofyOung animais contains tesse than that of old;

and it is in greater quantity in sarcophagous' than in the sessi os phytophagous' animais and sis h. It is not probable that the agote is produced by the decomposition of the nitre; sor after having performed the separation, it is capable of aturating the sinae quantity of sali os tartar
