ture of nearly equal parts of Strontitic and barytic waters, I 

 threw diftilled water impregnated with a quantity of fixed air 

 lefs than was fufBcient to faturate either of the earths. I fhook 

 the whole well for fome time, in the expectation that the earth, 

 "whofe attracflion preponderated, would attach to itfelf all the 

 acid, and become infoluble. On examination, however, 1 found, 

 that the precipitate confided of the carbonates of both. When 

 •a folution of lime, indead of barytes was ufed, the event was 

 fimilar. 



80. Strontites precipitates metallic calces from their folii- 

 tions in acids, but with no particular phenomena. When 

 Strontitic water is poured into a folution of muriate of mercu- 

 ry, a brownifh yellow precipitate, like to that produced by ba- 

 rytic or lime water, prefents itfelf. The fame fluid caufes a 

 dark green precipitate in fulphate of iron, a greyifh white in 

 fulphate of zinc, a light blue in fulphate of copper, and a 

 white one in acetite of lead.
