In Table VIII. there are shown the amounts of gross dry sub- 

 stance, of dry organic matter, and of mineral matter fixed, for 

 every 100,000 grains of water carried off from the soil by the 

 plants, and in Table IX. the amount of water given off for the 

 fixation of one grain of each of these is indicated.
