Recently, my attention having been called to this compound, it occurred to me that it might be interesting to prepare the corresponding seleniocyanate. Accordingly I assigned the task to Mr. W. L. Dudley, a student in the University of Cincinnati, who had little difficulty in attaining to success. When an alcoholic solution of potassium seleniocyanate is added to a similar solution of platinic chloride, a heavy reddish brown precipitate is immediately formed. This, upon boiling, becomes darker in color, and apparently in part dissolves. The filtered liquid deposits crystals of the new salt, mixed with a reddish sediment of selenium; and these, although they are slightly unstable, may be purified by recrystallization from alcohol. The· crystals are usually very small; mere scales in fact j although on one occasion they separated out as regular six-sided tables, several millimeters in diameter. By reflected light they are nearly black; but by transmitted light, deep garnet red. Specific gravity, 3'377 at lOo'2, 3'3iS at 12°'5.
