ter put in. 2 oz. measures of this lime water 
before going into the bottle took 10.8 gr. mea- 
sures of test sulphuric acid, equal 17 gr. acid in 
100 gr. measures. The lime water was in the 
bottle 10 days, and well agitated 8 or 10 times 
each day, and then poured into a glass jar, and 
allowed to stand until all the carbonate of lime 
had fallen to the bottom, then carefully neutra- 
lized, taking 9 gr. measures of the test acid to 
neutralize the 2 oz. measures of lime water; 
being 1.8 less than before it was put in.

EXPERIMENT 2. 
Filled the bottle again with air at Corn- 
brook, and put 1 oz. of lime water in, this air 
was in the bottle 4 days, and agitated as be- 
fore, and when the lime water was taken out 
it took 3.25 gr. measures to neutralize it; 5 oz. 
of the above lime water took 26.5 gr. measures 
of the test acid to neutralize it.
