SALINE SPRING IN A LEAD MINE. 401 



The peculiarity of this water is the large quan- 

 tity of Chloride of Calcium which it contains. 

 The largest amount recorded in any analysis I 

 have been able to find, is in one of the saline 

 springs at Leamington, which contains twenty- 

 eight grains in the pint, or not quite one third 

 of the quantity in the Brandley spring ; but the 

 deficiency of Sulphates of Magnesia and Soda will 

 prevent it being used for the same purposes as 

 those celebrated springs.
