The last source that I shall allude to is a very small one near 

 to the Kukurilu. and not connected with any bath, it is, how- 

 ever, used by the natives for the treatment of diseased eyes. 



Gueuzayasma Source. 



The Gueuzayasma source rises slowly in an excavation in the 

 side of a roclc, no gas whatsoever escaping from its surface ; an 

 incrustation is formed from it, that is in some places covered with a 

 thin green coat resembling some of the salt of nickel or copper, it 

 is, however, entirely of a vegetable character, and exhibits under 

 the microscope a beautiful lace structure. 



Physical Properties. — Clear and transparent ; Temperature, 

 113^ Fah. Specific gravity, 1-00122. 



Chemical Composition. — Solid contents in one h'tre, '901

The incrustation of the spring contains 97 per cent of carbon- 

 ate of lime, the remainder is composed of carbonates o^ iron and 

 magriesia and the sulphate of lime without a trace of fluorine. 



These various springs it will be seen supply nine public baths, 

 which vary in their size and magnificence, that of Yeni-Kaplidja 

 being the largest and most beautiful ; they are constructed on the 

 usual plan of the Eastern baths, and consist of three parts:
