## Summary

MATERIAL.—In addition to the four food tests described in Exps. 1-6, there should be provided some raw starch, a solution of grape sugar, the white of a hard-boiled egg, and any fatty substance, such as lard or oil. For Exps. 8 and 9, a little diastase solution will be necessary. “Taka” diastase, made from rice acted upon by a fungus, can be obtained for a trifle at almost any drug store.
