TABLE VI.— PHYSICAL ANALYSES OF DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF SOLUTIONS FROM 



THE SAME SOIL. 



Fine sandy soil (subsoil). 



Fine sandy soil (surface). 



I Small cylinder. 

 II Large cylinder. 



In the above two soils, successive portions of tlie solutions were ex- 

 amined as shown in Table VI. It will be noted that the successive por- 

 tions do not varj^ much in specific gravity or specific conductivity, but 

 there is a slight decrease in total solids in Soil 34, Avhile those in Soil 35 

 remain about the same. The difference here is more in the organic mat- 

 ter (loss in ignition) than in the inorganic matter. This would indicate 

 that part of the total solids was adsorbed. The first portions came from 

 the lower part of the cylinder and the last portion from the upper laj^ers.
