SCIENTIFIC EDITION
Oleanolic Acid Acetate.-The residue A (3.4Gm.) from the acetone mother liquor described above was acetylated with acetic anhydride and m i d i n e . The crude acetate on repeated crystallization from acetone afforded oleanolic acid acetate (0.5 Gm.)p m. P. 264-266'8 [a111f 75" (CHCL). The mixed melting point with an authentic specimen of oleanolic acid acetate did not show any depression. Anal.-Calcd. for C X ~ H ~ D C,O 77.06; ~: H, 10.11. Found: C, 76.71;H, 10.08. Methyl Oleanolate Acetate.-The acetate was esterified with an ethereal solution of diazomethane and the ester on crystallization from acetone yielded methyl oleanolate acetate, m. p. 216-218', [ a ] -k~ 68.6' (CHCls). The mixed melting point with an authentic specimen did not show any depression.

Extraction with 95% Ethanol The plant material after the extraction with henzene, was extracted in a &-&let apparatuswith 95% ethanol for ten hours. The residue after the removal of ethanol showed a negative test for alkaloids and did notyield any material,
