On the Chemical Properties of Soils. Ill) 
•grains of Ii<[uicl, or 2'r)r)32 grains froin the entire solution used in 
the experiment, and absorbed by 3500 grains of soil ; or 1000 
grains of soil absorbed '7323 grains of ammonia, in addition to 
•804 grains of ammonia absorbed in the 1st Experiment, thus 
giving a total of 1"5363 grains of ammonia in both trials. 
Third Experiment (^Heavy Clay Soil). 
Ammonia. 
Grains. 
Quantity of ammonia left in bottle -846 
,, added in fresh solution .. .. 9'442 
10-288 
1000 grains of mixed solution contained '515 
After contact with soil 1000 grains of solution contained "450 
•065 
Therefore "065 grains were removed from every 1000 grains of 
liquid, or 1^294 grains from the entire solution, and absorbed by 
3500 grains of soil. Ammonia. 
Grains. 
1000 grains thus absorbed in the 2nd E.xperiment .. -3697 
And in the 1st Experiment •7543 
Or in both Experiments 1-1240 
Fourth Experiment (^Sterile Sandy Soil). 
Ammonia. 
Grains. 
Quantity of ammonia left in bottle •414 
added in fresh solution .. .. 9-442 
9^856 
For 1000 grains of mixed solution there was -562 
And after contact with soil •431 
•131 
Thus '131 grains were removed from every 1000 grains of 
solution, or 2^290 grains from the entire solution, and taken up by 
3500 grains of soil. 
Ammonia. 
Grains. 
1000 grains of soil, therefore, absorbed in 2nd Experiment •654 
And in 1st Experiment •868 
Or in both Experiments 1*522 
Fifth Experiment (^Pasture Land). 
Ammonia. 
Grains. 
Quantity of ammonia left in bottle •926 
,, added in fresh solution .. .. 9*422 
10^348 
1000 grains of mixed solution contained *546 
And after contact with the soil *370
