D. Analysis by Prof. Liversidge of the Sydney University of a 



sample of the water collected by Dr. Bromlow, R.N., about 

 1879.2 



The specific gravity was 1-0064 at 60° F. The total solids in 

 solution were 582-4 grains per gallon ; but when heated to a dull 

 red heat, the residue was 546-9 grains per gallon, the combined 

 water having been driven off. Iodine and bromine were carefully- 

 sought for, but in vain. Four pints of the water were examined. 



Composition. 



Looking at the general character of these thermal springs of 

 Savu-savu we may quote the remarks of Prof Liversidge and Dr. 



1 Islands of the Pacific, by H. Stonehewer Cooper, 1888 edition.

 Cumming in At Home in Fiji gives the same analysis but differently stated.
