 The saline constituents are insignificant ; and the active properties of 

 the water are due to the presence of sulphides and carbonic acid.

Essay on the Grindbrunnen, near Frankfort-on-the-Main. Gives a 

 history of the spring ; then describes its geological relations, its 

 physical characters, and its chemical composition. An original analysis 

 of the water is given, and the results are compared with those of previous 

 analysts. The Grindbrunnen is strongly hepatic, with a high proportion 

 of chloride of sodium, bicarbonate of soda, and bicarbonates of alkaline 

 earths. It is further notable for containing bromide and iodide of 

 sodium and carbonate of lithia. F. W. R.
