The total solids amounting to 1,457 '5 p. p.m. or 102 0 grains per gallon. The 

 loss on ignition of this solid matter (salts of ammonia, tarry substances, &c.) was 574 0 

 p.p.m. or 40 ' 2 grains per gallon. 



An examination of the solid content furnished the following data : — 



Parts per Million of 

 Waste Water. 



Chlorine . , 277*7 



Lime 34 • 5 



Magnesia . . . , 50 • 4 



Iron and alumina , 11'2 



On comparing the present results with those recorded for waste waters from gas 

 works, there does not seem to be any feature that calls for special attention, save that 

 it is much more diluted than those ordinarily met with.
