  Xylidine \Xy"li*dine\, n. (Chem.)
     Any one of six metameric hydrocarbons, {(CH3)2.C6H3.NH2},
     resembling aniline, and related to xylene. They are liquids,
     or easily fusible crystalline substances, of which three are
     derived from metaxylene, two from orthoxylene, and one from
     paraxylene. They are called the amido xylenes.


     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The xylidine of commerce, used in making certain dyes,
           consists chiefly of the derivatives of paraxylene and
           metaxylene.
           [1913 Webster]
