Abstract
DURING a discussion upon a very interesting paper by our president, βOn the Durability of some Iron Wire,β I mentioned a fact which I had lately observed, viz., that steel or iron wires immersed for a few minutes in acidulated water containing one tenth sulphuric acid became excessively brittle. Our president has since kindly asked me to make a few more experiments on this subject, and to embody them in the form of the present note.
