Boiling Water from Small Spring.’ Contained in a sodawater 
bottle. 
This, like No. 2, contained a yellow powdery sediment of 
sulphur and other matters. It possessed a strong acid reaction, 
and gave off a smell of sulphurous acid, together with that of 
sulphuretted hydrogen. 
On evaporating down to dryness, a light-coloured residue was 
left, brown in the centre, and on ignition this blackened 
considerably but only gave off a small quantity of sulphur 
trioxide fumes. The salts present were the same as in No. -2, 
and the lithium band was equally well marked.

Sampite No. 4.—Labelled “ Seymour Bay, 11th November, 1888. 
Water from Lagoon, Hot Springs, Saline Lake, margin 
surrounded by sulphur.” Contained in a wine bottle. 
The sediment from this was but small in amount, and of a dark- 
brown colour. There was also a little black flocculent matter 
The water possessed a strong acid reaction, and smelt of 
sulphuretted hydrogen. 
On evaporating down to dryness, a large quantity of iron was 
found to be present, mostly in the ferrous condition, much 
gelatinous silica, some lime, magnesia and soda, together with 
lithium. 
On ignition, the residue became intensely black, gave off slight 
fumes with an acid reaction and decripitated (from sodium 
chloride crystals), and left a dark ferruginous-looking residue.

These waters present the usual characters of hot spring waters 
occurring under similar conditions, and require no special 
comment except as to the presence of lithium, and I regret that.
