MURIATES AND CHLORIDES. 



The muriate of barytes contains the smallest Water of 

 proportion of water ; it amounts only to J f 258 thS per** 

 per cent. The muriate of lime contains -the ce 

 greatest quantity ; it amounts to 45'378 pet- 

 cent. As it may be useful in some cases to 

 know the quantity of water contained in 100 

 parts of these salts, I shall set it down in the fol- 

 lowing table :

- iron . . 27 



- alumina . 30 



- manganese . 33-027
