   Since 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  my 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  Sulphur 
  springs 
  of 
  New- 
  

   York, 
  several 
  new 
  ones 
  have 
  been 
  discovered 
  ; 
  and 
  of 
  those 
  previously 
  

   known, 
  some 
  have 
  been 
  analyzed. 
  Among 
  these 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  noticed 
  : 
  

  

  The 
  Bellevue 
  Mineral 
  Spring, 
  situated 
  two 
  miles 
  below 
  Niagara 
  

   Falls, 
  a 
  few 
  rods 
  from 
  the 
  Niagara 
  river, 
  where 
  the 
  bank 
  rises 
  perpen- 
  

   dicularly 
  from 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  stream 
  more 
  than 
  two 
  hundred 
  feet. 
  

   The 
  water 
  of 
  this 
  spring 
  has 
  been 
  analyzed 
  by 
  Prof. 
  J. 
  Torrey, 
  with 
  the 
  

   following 
  results 
  in 
  one 
  pint, 
  viz 
  : 
  

  

  Sulphate 
  of 
  lime, 
  

  

  Sulphate 
  of 
  magnesia. 
  

  

  Carbonate 
  of 
  magnesia, 
  - 
  

  

  Carbonate 
  of 
  lime, 
  

  

  Chloride 
  of 
  sodium, 
  

  

  Traces 
  of 
  iron, 
  

  

  Sulphuretted 
  hydrogen,
