Abstract
The aniloethyl alcohol forms with fatty acid a compound, which is not promptly dissociated even by the presence of inorganic acid and dissolves into the organic solvents, such as ether or petroleum ether, especially when a large quantity of free fatty acid is present, contaminating thus the fatty acids with nitrogenous impurity in its turn.
That the fatty acid obtained by hydrolysis of cephalin invariably retained a small amount of nitrogen, is thus easily explaiiable, and it might be well noted that the fat-determi-nation of any ceplialin containing organs will be affected by such a circumstance.
