          Appeal No. 96-1675                                                           
          Application No. 08/317,977                                                   

          application.2                                                                




               Although appellant originally requested an oral hearing                 
          in this appeal (Paper Number 17), appellant has now waived his               
          request for oral hearing (Paper Number 19).  Accordingly, we                 
          shall decide the issues before us based solely on the                        
          arguments in appellant's brief and reply brief (Paper Numbers                
          12 and 14) and the examiner's answer (Paper Number 13) and the               
          examiner's response to appellants' reply brief, such as it is                
          (Paper Number 16).                                                           
                                    THE INVENTION                                      
               The claimed invention is directed to aqueous compositions               
          useful in color photography.  The compositions are said to be                
          useful as redox amplifiers and comprise, in particular amounts               
          and at a particular pH, a color developing agent and hydrogen                
          peroxide or a compound which provides hydrogen peroxide and an               
          hydroxylamine or salt thereof.  Appellant also claims the                    


           Appellant's brief includes claim 6 in the appendix,2                                                                       
          "Claims on Appeal".  Nevertheless, claim 6 was canceled by                   
          appellant in Paper Number 4.  Accordingly, claim 6 forms no                  
          issue in this appeal.                                                        
                                          2
