No. XXVII. Healthy Urine after twenty-four hours 

 showed no change. After eleven days there was still 

 no apparent change, though on the thirteenth a slight 

 amount of flocculent sediment was noticed. This de- 

 posit increased in amount, very slowly, during the next 

 fortnight ; though afterwards the fluid seemed to under- 

 go no further change, and did not become generally 

 turbid. | 



No. XXVIII. Healthy Urine (J-) and Filtered Turnip 

 Infusion (-) after forty-eight hours showed a very 

 slight turbidity, which, however, became quite marked 

 in another twenty-four hours. 



No. XXIX. Albuminous Urine (J) and filtered Tur- 

 nip Infusion (-) after twenty-four hours, showed a 

 slight turbidity, which became much more marked in 

 forty-eight hours ; whilst in seventy-two hours there 

 was a considerable deposit at the bottom of the flask. 



No- XXX- Simple Turnip Infusion showed no change 

 in forty-eight hours, though in seventy-two hours there 

 was well-marked turbidity. The turbidity and sedi- 

 ment continued to increase for several days, and both 

 were most marked on the tenth day, when the flask was 

 opened. There was an outrush of gas, having an ex-

 flocculi which formed would be found to be similar in their micro- 

 scopical, as they certainly were in their naked-eye characters, to 

 those met with in No. XXXV.
