                    21.  In a chromatographic column used in the separation           
               of a chemical substance from a mixture containing the same,            
               the improvement comprising said column containing a carrier            
               having supported thereon a separating agent comprising a               
               cellulose derivative consisting of cellulose having an                 
               aromatic substituent attached thereto through a urethane               
               group.                                                                 
                    22.  In a chromatographic column used in the separation           
               of a chemical substance from a mixture containing the same,            
               the improvement comprising said column containing a                    
               separating agent in the form of beads and comprising a                 
               cellulose derivative consisting of cellulose having an                 
               aromatic substituent attached thereto through a urethane               
               group.                                                                 
                    54.  In a chromatographic column used in the separation           
               of a chemical substance from a mixture containing the same,            
               the improvement comprising said column containing a                    
               separating agent comprising a ground cellulose derivative              
               having an aromatic substituent attached thereto through a              
               urethane group, said aromatic substituent being ring                   
               substituted with a group selected from among an alkyl group,           
               an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, a nitro group, a halogen           
               group, an amino group, an alkyl-substituted amino group, a             
               cyano group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, an acyl                
               group, a thiol group, a sulfonyl group, a carboxyl group and           
               an alkoxy carbonyl group.                                              




               1 The amendment which was submitted together with a response
