The last source that I shall allude to is a very small one, 

 near to the Kukurtlu, and not connected with any bath ; it is, 

 however, used by the natives for the treatment of diseased eyes.

GUEUZAYASMA SOURCE. 



The Grueuzayasma source rises slowly in an excavation in 

 the side of a rock, no gas whatsoever escaping from its surface; 

 an incrustation is formed from it, that is in some places cov- 

 ered with a thin green coat resembling some of the salt of 

 nickel or copper; it is, however, entirely of a vegetable char- 

 acter, and exhibits under the microscope a beautiful lace 

 structure.
