370 C. A. Goessmann on the Onondaga Mineral Springs. 
In the following final arrangement of my quantitative analyt- 
ical results (see page 216), I favor No. I. in each case as the form 
best illustrative of the teachings of my investigations; for I am 
inclined to believe that the least objectionable basis for arranging 
analytical results, is to state them as they are obtained from an 
analysis of the solid residue left after a careful evaporation to 
dryness at common temperatures. In taking this view I am 
fully aware of the various changes of affinities which the altera- 
tions in temperature and concentration, in many instances, exert. 
Nos. II. and III, in each corresponding case, represent the same 
analysis in forms based upon views differing from those adopted 
in this paper. ‘ 
Arrangement of the above various analytical results according to three 
different views.
