If a plain gelatine plate is soaked in a solution of pyro and ammonia for severalhours, and then put in hot water, it will melt readily, proving that, although sub-jected to the action of oxidized pyro, no tanning action has taken place. I know-that old notions are hard to get rid of, as is the so-called rising and setting of thesun. which is only illusive.

It has been said that the undeveloped image in the plate consists ofsilver sub-bromide ; but silver sub-bromide has never yet been proved to be present,and there is no evidence that silver sub-bromide has been made,
