title: [News of the discovery of acids in organic material by C.W. Scheele (author's transl)].
abstract: With reference to a critical publication by F. Ehrhardt (1780), the author presents and analyses all documents concerning the discovery of tartaric, oxalic and phosphoric acids in animal earth (from bones or hartshorn, Cornu cervi). Furthermore, he dates Scheele's manuscripts Nos 22 to 41 from Oseen's collection, and draws conclusions as to Scheele's studies on fluorspar and to Scheele's acquaintance (1770) with J.G. Gahn and T. Bergman.
