 yards, about 7 feet above the river into which it flows. 

 The temperature of different vents varies from 116°"5 to 

 117°'5 ; the water from little pools through which bubbles 

 apparently of sulphuretted hydrogen rise, and a disagree- 

 ably strong smell of this gas is perceptible in the imme-

 consist of common salt, with admixture. About 100 yards 

 up the river are three or four similar vents. — F. R. Mallet,
