In the control experiments, the air leaving the mercury valve D (fig. 30, page 66) was caused to pass through a T-tube, one arm of which connected directly with the sampling pipette of the Sondén gas-analysis apparatus, the other arm connecting with the U-tubes for residual analyses.

We have used a Haldane gas-analysis apparatus for analyzing the oxygen, although the construction of the apparatus is such that this presents some little difficulty.

When a direct comparison of the calculated residual amount of oxygen present is to be made upon determinations made with a gas-analysis apparatus the earlier and much more complicated method of calculation must be employed.

_baryta-water_, finds an extensive application in practical chemistry, being used in gas-analysis for the determination of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; and also being used in organic chemistry as a hydrolysing agent for the decomposition of complex ureides and substituted aceto-acetic esters, while E. Fischer has used it as a condensing agent in the preparation of [alpha] - and [beta] - acrose from acrolein dibromide.

Rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's Laws of Heredity by Carl Correns, Erik von Tschermak, and Hugo de Vries J.B.S. states: "At the age of eight or so I was allowed to take down numbers which I called out when reading the burette of a gas-analysis apparatus and later to calculate from these numbers the amounts of various gases in a sample.
