The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows:—

(1.) To insert the following paragraph, “This object is effected by making the device in parts adapted to be readily combined or joined together,” after the paragraph ending “heated or boiled,” line 5, page 2.

(2.) To strike out the word “But,” line 6, page 2, and the words “will now,” line 7, page 2.
