We thus collected, upon the cold tube, metallic silver mixed with a large proportion of protoxide of silver. In the preliminary experiments with the same tube, we proved that cold silver, in contact with very hot oxygen, gives only binoxide of silver, without a trace of protoxide. Therefore, protoxide of silver, although decomposed at a moderate temperature, may be produced at a very high temperature, like the other bodies that we have been studying.--MM. Troost and Hautefeuille, in Compte, Rendus, April 30.
