* From Prof Wolff's Mittlere Zusammensetzung der Asche, aller land- und 
forstwirthschafllichen wichtigen Stoffe, Stuttgart, 1865. The above Table bein 
more complete and in most particulars more exact than the author’s means o 
reference enable him to construct, and being moreover likely to be the basis of 
calculations by agricultural chemists abroad for some years to come, has been 
reproduced here literally. The references and important explanations accom- 
anying the original, want of space precludes quoting. In the table, oxide of 
ron, a0 ingredient normally present to the extent of less than one per cent, ig 
omitted. Chlorine is often omitted, not because absent from the pJuwt, but from 
uncertainty as to its amount. Carbonic acid is also excladed in au vases for the 
eake of nniform‘ty and facility of comparison.
