3. — Colour of the Water. 



This is an unimportant character, but it was four d to vary 

 so much that it seemed useful to note it. 



The colour was observed by looking down a column of 

 water about 20 inches high on to a brightly illuminated 

 white surface. The words used to denote the colour are, 

 it is hoped, not too vague.
