paper. It is found to contain the following ingredients in one 

 litre ■ 



' Grammes. Grammes. 



Carbonic acid, free* 3420 Lime 1415 



Carbonic acid, fixed 1820 Magnesia 0142 



Hydro-sulphuric acid 0012 Alumina 0012 



Sulphuric acid 2140 Silica 1100 



Chlorine 0103 Iron trace 



Soda 2600 Organic matter (crenic acid)... .0350 



Potash 0110 



These acids and bases may be represented as combining in 

 the following manner: 



Bicarbonate of soda 4100 Sulphate of alumina 0043 



Bicarbonate of lime 1830 Chloride of sodium 0170 



Bicarbonate of magnesia 0460 Hydro-sulphate of soda 0033 



Sulphate of soda 1950 Carbonate of iron trace 



Sulphate of potash 0202 Silica 1100 



Sulphate of lime 1710 Organic matter 0342 



The incrustation from this spring was next examined. One 

 gramme of a beautiful crystalline portion was analyzed and 

 found to contain 



Carbonate of lime 970 Silica 003 



Carbonate of magnesia 016 Organic matter trace 



Sulphate of lime 008 Fluoride of calcium trace 



Peroxide of iron 011 



There are some portions of the incrustation richer in or- 

 ganic matter than this, but then the mixture is sensible to the 

 eye, and does not represent the pure crystalline deposit of the 

 spring. 



The Kukurtlu source supplies two baths with water, one 

 called the Buyuk Kukurtlu and the other the Kutschuk 

 Kukurtlu. 



The other source of sulphur thermal water is called 



BADEMLI-BAGHTSCHE. 



This source is about three hundred feet from the latter, and 

 flows from three or four openings in the tufa. On my visit to 

 it the entrance to the sources was closed up with masonry, and 

 the door could not be opened by the Turks from some super- 

 stitious motive. I was, however, enabled to procure the water 

 a few feet from the source as it flowed through an open gutter. 



* What is here meant is such of the carbonic acid as can be expelled in 

 boiling the water. . .
