ture of nearly equal parts of Strontitic and barytic waters, I 

 threw diftilled water impregnated with a quantity of fixed air 

 lefs than was fufBcient to faturate either of the eiarths. I fhook 

 the whole well for fome time, in the expectation that the earth, 

 ■whofe attraction preponderated, would attach to itfelf all the 

 acid, and become infoluble. On examination, however, 1 found, 

 that the precipitate confifted of the carbonates of both. When 

 a folution of lime, inllead of barytes was ufed, the event was 

 £milar. 



80. Strontites precipitates metallic calces from their folu- 

 tions in acids, but with no particular phenomena. When 

 Strontitic water is poured into a folution of muriate of mercu- 

 ry, a brownifh yellow precipitate, like to that produced by ba- 

 rytic or lime water, prefents itfelf. The fame fluid caufes a 

 dark green precipitate in fulphate of iron, a greyilh white in 

 fulphate of zinc, a light blue in fulphate of copper, and a 

 white one in acetite of lead.
