* The percentage of albuminoid nitrogen i.s calculated from the results of the 

 carbolic acid method. 



In the mat grass and deer hair nearly one-third of the nitroj^en 

 was non-albuminoid, in the Molinia about one-fifth, and in the 

 Cariccs about one-tenth to one-eighth was non-albuminoid. In 

 the draw-moss the amount of ash constituents is low. As far

 and the heather shoots and stool bent the poorest. In heat- 

 producing materials the heather shoots are the richest. In
