 Everest, Gleanings in Sci., Ill, 134. Contains carbonic 

 acid and sulphur, silica, alkaline muriates and sulphates, 

 and iron. — Prinsep, Gleanings in Sci., Ill, 277. This

 old road from Calcutta to the north-west. The springs 

 rise over a space of 50 yards in length; the water is 

 brackish and gives off a good deal of sulphuretted hydro-

 in Newbold's list, Phil. Trans., London, 1845, page 138,
