In the previous paper WC studied tht? leduction of ferric iron, ferricyanide and ceric salts with quadrivAznt uranium either alone or in the f)rcscncc of each other. In this pap-x we applied the reagent for the estimation of dichromatc, permanganate, tcllurate, and bromate ions scparatel~~ or in a mixture containing them tog&her with ferric and ccric salts. J~ELC~IEH, GIIJBONS ANI) Wrr;sr* studied the reduction of tlichromatc with U-i-4 and found that the rcnctiou was slug&h rrt room tcmpcraturc making the end-point rather mclistlnct, but when the titration was carried or:t :rt boo C satisfactory ant1 consistent rerulta were obtained.

However, in presence of few drops of fcrxrc chloride the reaction velocity is increased -at the higher acidities. The decrease in the reaction rate at higher aczdities is apparently due to the rise in the Et of the II +J/ U 14 system, whtch in t 4N tl,SO, approaches the formal rcdox potential of the Cr+O/Cr-P couple (TL l.i volt). Oxzdation of Uc4 with Cr,O,+ occurs rapidly in presence of 2.5-53 I-'ICI and 3.6N f-i,SO,; the results arc quite satisfactorv.
