Of the mineral matter of No. 1 sample a considerable proportion 

 seems likely to be chloride of sodium, owing to the large proportion of 

 chlorine and the very slight hardness of this water. In No. 2 sample, 

 the extreme degree of hardness is accounted for by its traversing a lime 

 formation — it seems to contain an excess of carbonate and also of sulphate 

 of lime. The Sita-kund water appears to contain chloride of calcium 

 and perhaps sodium. The absence of blackening of the solid, residue 

 on io-nition indicated the absence of organic matter from all of the 

 samples. All contained sulphur in the form of sulphates. 



The ^as evolved at the springs has when sensibly odorous or 

 otherwise been noted in column 13 of Table I — very slight traces of 

 sulphuretted hydrogen are detectable by smell. Nitrogen is a gas 

 which is evolved from hot springs in much greater quantity and more 

 frequently than sulphuretted hydrogen,* but samples of the gas evolved 

 could not be collected for analysis : one characteristic of nitrogen is 

 that it does not support combustion ; and in every case the bubbles of 

 gas from the springs extinguished a light, but the bursting of the bub- 

 ble on the surface would of itself tend to blow out the light. Oai'bonic 

 acid is occasionally evolved from hot springs — in the last two samples 

 it could not be present in any quantity, judging from the absence of 

 pungency in the taste of these waters : no direct test by lime or other- 

 wise was resorted to : in every case the waters were neutral to test-paper.
