The nitrogen is, on the avea2:e of these specimens, somcwliat 

 lower than in the case of" the French and American series; but 

 this arises from the extreme lowness of specimens Nos. 16 and 22. 

 If these be thrown out, the average on the remaining seven 

 samples will be 4*66, which practically does not differ from the 

 mean of the French and American. Of the other varieties I 

 have fewer samples to describe. 



The following are analyses of two specimens of Russian
