* From Prof Wolff&quot; s Mittlere Znxammensetz ung der Asche, oiler land- und 

 forstwiriJixclutftlirfien wic.htigen Sfoffe, Stuttgart, 1895. The above Table being 

 more complete and in most particulars more exact than the author s means of 

 reference enable him to construct, and being moreover likely to be the basis of 

 calculations by agricultural chemists abroad for some years to come, has been 

 reproduced here literally. The references and important explanations accom 

 panying the original, want of space precludes quoting. In the table, oxide of 

 iron, aii ingredient normally present to the extent of loss than o:ic per cent, is 

 omitted. Chlorine is often omitted, not because absent from the pJ-tr.t, but from 

 uncertainty as to its amount. Carbonic acid is also excluded iu a&amp;gt;* u*ses f &amp;gt;r the 

 uke of uniformity and tanlil.y of comparison.
