quina mine

[Eng. quin ( ine ), and -amine.] Chem.: C20H26N2O2. An alkaloid discovered in 1872 by He e, in the bark of Cinchona succirubra. It crystallizes in hair-like anhydrous needles which melt at 172, is insoluble in water, but soluble in hot alcohol, in boiling ether, in benzol, and in petroleum ether. Solutions of quina mine do not stand the thalleioquin test, nor do they display fluorescence. †quin-an-çy-wort, s . (QUINSY WORT.] quin-ăn-i-lide, s. [Eng. quin (ic); anil(ine), and suff. -ide .] Chem.: C13H17O5N=CHO N. Phenyl quina? C6H5 H mide. A substance obtained by heating quinic acid with aniline to 180°, washing the product with ether, and di olving the residue in ether-alcohol. The solution yields small, white, silky needles, which melt at 174, and di olve easily in alcohol and water, sparingly in ether. qui-na-qui-na, subst.

Science: A system of cla ification published by Macleay in his Horæ Entomologicæ (1819-21), арplied by Vigors to ornithology in 1823 ( Trans . Linn. Soc . , xiv. 395-517), and modified by Swains on ( Geog . & Cla . Anim . (1835), 224, 225.): 1. Every natural series of beings, in its progre from a given point, either actually returns, or evinces a tend. ency to return, again to that point, thereby forming a circle. 2. The primary circular divisions of every group are three actually, or five apparently. 3. The contents of such a group are symbolically (or analogically) represented by the contents of all other circles in the animal kingdom. 4. These primary divisions of every group are charac terized by definite peculiarities of form, structure, and economy which, under diversified modifications, are uni. form throughout the animal kingdom, and are therefore to be regarded as the primary types of nature. 5. The different ranks or degrees of circular groups exhibited in the animal kingdom are nine in number, each being involved within the other. Fleming ( Quart . Rev. , xli. 302-27) pointed out the fallacies of the system, and Rennie ( Montagu's Ornithol . Dict .) attacked it, more especially in its application to ornithology. It is now deservedly exploded. pine, pit, sire, sir, marine; gō, pot, quinate quin'-āte, s. [Eng. quin (ic); -ate.] Chem.: A salt of quinic acid.
