Since the publication of my account of the Sulphur springs of New- 

 York, several new ones have been discovered ; and of those previously 

 known, some have been analyzed. Among these are to be noticed : 



The Bellevue Mineral Spri?ig, situated two miles below Niagara 

 Falls, a few rods from the Niagara river, where the bank rises perpen- 

 dicularly from the edge of the stream more than two hundred feet. 

 The water of this spring has been analyzed by Dr. J. Torrey, with the 

 following results in one pint, viz : 



Sulphate of lime, 3*68 grains. 



Sulphate of magnesia, - - - - 1*92 " 



Carbonate of magnesia, - - - - 0*76 " 



Carbonate of lime, - - - - 0-32 " 



Chloride of sodium, - - - - 1*31 " 

 Traces of iron, 



Sulphuretted hydrogen. 

 Carbonic acid gas, - 



7*99 grains.
