4. An acid azine, oxazine or thiazine, such as Azine Green S. 5. An acid triphenylmethane dyestuff, such as Acid Green, Light Green, Guinea Green, Wool Green, Neptune Green, Naphthalene Green, &c.

6. An acid azo color, e.g., a mixture of an Azo Blue and Azo Yellow.

7. A salt dyestuff, such as Diamine Green, Columbia Green, Chloramine Green, Benzo Green, &c.

EXAMINATION OF BROWN SHADES.

TABLE VI.

Brown shades are usually dyed with mixtures of dyestuffs such as reds, oranges, blues, and greens. Even the brown dyestuffs issued by the color manufacturers are to a large extent mixtures. The following scheme is applicable to single dyestuffs or to mixtures composed of two or more dyestuffs of the same group. If dyestuffs of different groups are present (i.e., an azo orange with a blue of the triphenylmethane series), the respective tables must be consulted. The following single dyestuffs come into consid

eration:

1. Basic Browns, such as Bismarck Browns or Vesuvine. 2. Acid azo colors, such as Acid Brown R, Fast Brown O, Resorcin Brown, Naphthylamine Brown, &c.

3. Salt dyestuffs of the azo group, such as Diamine Browns, Columbia Browns, Toluylene Browns, Dianil Browns, Benzo Browns, Congo Browns, Hessian Browns, Sulphon Browns, &c. 4. Salt dyestuffs of the stilbene group, e.g., Mikado Browns. 5. Anthragallol (Anthracene Brown).

6. Cutch.

7. Chromogen.

8. Mordant azo colors, such as Anthracene Acid Browns, Acid Anthracene Browns, Acid Anthracene Brown, Palatine Chrome Brown, Acid Chrome Brown, Diamond Brown, Metachrome Brown, &c. Also, Maganese Brown.
