In the same manner the name and date of collection 

 of each specimen of artificial grass, analyzed, are ar- 

 ranged in Table V. 



The inquiries of Professor Way were directed to 

 ascertain 



1. The proportion of water in each grass as taken 

 from the field. 



2. The proportion of albuminous or flesh-forming 

 substances, including, without distinction, all the nitro- 

 genous principles. 



3. The proportion of oily or fatty matters, which may 

 be called fat-forming principles.
