 "Mineral water Divina" though with what success, and under what 

 conditions the watei occurs, are not known to the writer. The cnly 

 available analysis is that by Profs. Favard and Pfister of Montreal :

Varennes, Vcrcheres Go. {a) — Two springs known locally as the 

 " Saline " and " Gas " springs occur at this place, the waters rising 

 through the clay from rocks near the summit of the Utica or base of 

 the Hudson River formation. In both instances carburetted hydro- 

 l^en is given off, in the case of the saline spring in but small quantities 

 at infrequent intervals, while from the gas spring sufficient was evolved 

 at one time to warrant its collection and utilization in the lighting of 

 the house that had been erected over it. In November 1847 the 

 temperature of the Saline spring was 47^ F. and that of the Gas spring 

 40° F., the air being 19'' F. Again on the i8th of October in the 

 following year the temperature was taken and found to be 47-5^ F. in 

 the Saline spring, while the Gas spring was 45 ■5'' F. fhe atmosphere 

 being 44"^ F. The following analyses are available :
