The well water at Tintinhull (No. 4) was a hard water, which he 
would not recommend any one to use permanently', although tie- 
animals apparently were uninjured by it. It contained some oxide- 
of iron, which might tend to counteract its injurious influences. 
Another sample of water, taken from a second well at Tintinhull, 
near to the one ju.st alluded to, had, when he received it, no fetid 
smell, but it soon developed sulphuretted hydrogen in considerable 
quantities, which evidently arose, not so much from organic matter, 
as from the reduction of sulphate of lime and other sulphates. Tlie 
leaden pipe, to which Trofe.ssor Simonds had referred, would exer- 
cise a similar reducing action, adding to the foetor by producing 
an increased amount of sulphuretted hydrogen. The black colour 
arose from the production of sulphuret of lead. The analysis o£ 
No. 4 was as follows :
