Abstract
IT is an old idea that carbon monoxide is the real agent in the precipitation of gold from solutions of the chloride by means of charcoal. An objection to Mr. Richardson's suggestion, that the same view may be taken in the case of cyanide solutions, lies in the fact that, according to my own experiments, carbon monoxide does not appear to precipitate gold under ordinary conditions from these solutions.
