Beans and Peas, 8fc. 



495 



I do not propose to offer any remarks upon their composition in 

 relation to the soil on which they were grown, it may not be 

 amiss so far to record the history of each. The nitrogen analyses 

 were made for me by Mr. Ward; the estimations of oil prin- 

 cipally by Mr. Eggar.

Of these analyses, I would merely say that they show a very 

 close resemblance between beans and peas in the proportion of 

 albuminous matter, although it is at the same time obvious that
