Abstract
IN a communication in Nature1, one of us (F. K.) reported on a volatile copper compound obtained by thermal decomposition of cupriformate. J. G. Maltby2 directed attention to the work of A. Angel and A. V. Harcourt3, according to whom cuprous acetate forms as a white sublimate when cupriacetate is heated.
