2. The deliquescent salts were extracted from the dry 
residuum by digestion in alcohol, and separate a from = 
other by converting them into sulphates.i in the usual w 
3. The mass, after the separation of the ieleaadecsl 
salts, was dissolved in water and filtered. The carbonate 
and sulphate of lime left on the filter were separated by mu- 
mete acid, 
. The ‘filtered solution was iroaiea with carbonate of 
ou. boiled, and filtered; the carbonate of lime left onthe 
filter indicating the quantity of sulphate of lime, decompo- 
5. To the last clear solution, neutralized by the addition 
of muriatic acid, muriate of barytes was added till it ceas= 
ed to yield a precipitate ; the quantity of sulphate of bary- 
tes shewing that no other sulphate existed in i. water.
