* From Prof. Wolff's Mittlere Zusammensetzung der Asche, aller land- und 
Sorstwirthschaftlichen wichtigen Stoffe, Stuttgart, 1865. The above Table being 
more complete and in most particulars more exact than the author’s means of 
reference enable him to construct, and being moreover likely to be the basis of 
calculations by agricultural chemists abroad for some years to come, has been 
reproduced here literally. The references and important explanations accom- 
panying the original, want of space precludes uonng: In the table, oxide of 
jron, an ingredient normally present to the extent of less than one per cent, is 
omitted. Chlorine is often omitted, not because absent from the plant, but from 
uncertainty as to its amount. Carbonic acid is also excluded in all cases for the | 
sake of uniformity and facility of comparison.
