DATA OF GEOCHEMISTRY 



Data for lakes and rivers of the Mediterranean area 

 of Europe are very few. Stankovic (1931) presents 

 analyses lacking sodium and potassium for 10 Aegean 

 lakes.

 and the Elbe and their tributaries

A. Lake of Zurich, Switzerland. Analysis by Moldenhauer 1857. 



B. The Rhine at Basel, Switzerland. Analysis by J. S. F. Fagenstecher, 1837, 



cited by Roth. 



C. The Rhine near Mainz, Germany. Analysis by E. Egger, 1887. 



D. The Rhine at Arnheim, Germany. Analysis by J. W. Gunning, 1854. 



E. The Saale near its source. Analysis by E. Spaeth, 1889. 



F. The Saale at Blankenstein, Germany. Analysis by A. Schwager, 1891. 



G. The Elbe at Celakowitz, above the mouth of the Iser. 

 H. The Elbe at Tetscben, near the Bohemian frontier. 



So much information exists for the waters of the 

 Soviet Union that it is possible to give only a small 

 sample here. Analyses for a number of rivers, some 

 of them very important ones, are presented in tables 

 39 and 40. Additional information may be found in 

 Blidin and Aslanov (1952); Durov (1952); Forsch 

 (1936); Fortunatov (1932); Oseroff (1926); Polyakov 

 and Kuznetzov (1940); Valyashko (1939); Vesclovskii, 

 Golokov, and Tarasov (1954); Bochkarev (1959). 

 Occasionally sodium displaces calcium or sulfate 

 displaces carbonate as principal ions. Of the rivers 

 listed, only the Ishim, with its 1,200 ppm of total salts 

 and its high chloride content, seems to show any trace 

 of the evolution displayed by the rivers of the Rio 

 Grande system and other arid parts of the American 

 West, but there must be streams of such high concen-
