silunan limestones, occurs in the township of Caxton on the banks of 



the Yamachiche ri.'er. The water is accompanied by very considerable 



quantities of carburretted hydrogen gas and had at the time of the 



collection of the specimen examined, October 1848, an estimated flow 



of eight gallons per minute. It afforded the following analysis ; —

 containing 574 parts of solid matter in f,ooo of water and abundance 

 of carburetted hydrogen gas. Temperature of water 53^ F.

Henryville, Iberville Co. (a) — A water containing a large amount 

 of carbonate of soda, with chlorides, and a trace of iodides occurs 

 about two miles south of this place. The water at the time of exami- 

 nation, prior to 1863, contained 16 cubic inches of sulphuretted 

 hydrogen in 1,000 cubic inches of water. No analysis is available. 



facques Carder River, Portneuf Co. (a) — A water strongly impreg 

 nated with sulphuretted hydrogen rises from the Utica formation near 

 Marcotte's Mills on the Jacques Cartier river, near Quebec. The 

 specimen examined was collected in the summer of 1852 and gave : —
