* From Prof. WolfTs Mitttere Zusammensetzung der Asche. oiler land- nnd 

 forstwirtJischaftlicJien^ ivichligen Stoffe, Stuttgart, 18(55. 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, an ingredient normally present to the extent of less than one per cent, is 

 omitted. Chlorine is often omitted, not because absent from the plant, but from 

 uncertainty as to its amount. Carbonic acid is also excluded in all cases for the 

 take of uniformity and facility of comparison.
