After the addition of water and hydrochloric acid however the solution in the assay bottles could not be cleared by shaking ; the bulk of the silver chloride collected at the bottom of the bottles but the supernatant fluid remained turbid. [...] 4. The presence of a trace of bismuth in silver of high fineness is immediately detected in the ordinary coarse of assay by the Indian method but this bismuth interferes with the perfect accuracy of the results obtained by that process. [...] The contents of the beaker are then passed through a filter of which the weight of ash yielded by incineration is known and the carbonate of bismuth on the filter washed quite free of all traces of silver. [...] Whoa the proportion of bismuth is increased to 2 3 4 and 5 per mile the plan of cooling remaining the same the raggedness of the edges of the straps was somewhat increased but not very markedly. [...] The want of success which attended it seemed to be due to the very small amount of base metal in the bullion for the formation of a slag in which the bismuth oxide could be entangled and removed by skimming ; and possibly the reducing action of the plumbago pots used may have added to the difficulty.
