Extract

Atropia.—Atropia is a nitrile base. All we know of its constitution is, that by the action of strong acids and bases it is decomposed, in accordance with the equation.

So that atropia may be considered as tropia, in which one atom of hydrogen has been replaced by tropyl, the radical of tropic acid. Tropic acid belongs to the aromatic series, and is considered by Kraut to be phenylsarcolactic acid—HO · CH2 · CH(C6H5)COOH. Of the constitution of tropia we know nothing whatever, except that it is a nitrile base.

Jolyet and Cahours of Paris, informing them that these physiologists were ready to publish a paper upon the relative action of the salts of conia, ethyl-conia, and diethyl-conium. In order to secure simultaneous publication, it was arranged that the two papers should be communicated on the same day—the one to the Academy of Sciences of Paris, and the other to this Society.
