Apart from the dissolved organic matter, to which reference will 
be made presently, the only important solid constituents are 
magnesium sulphate and calcium carbonate and sulphate. 
In Table B, the acids and bases are arranged in the 
form of compounds, the arrangement being made on the following 
basis : — All the chlorine is regarded as occurring in the form of 
sodium chloride, and the remainder of the sodium is calculated to 
sulphate ; all the magnesium is calculated to sulphate ; and the rest 
of the sulphuric acid and the silica are considered to be united with 
calcium ; the remainder of the calcium being calculated to carbonate. 
The experimental evidence in support of this view as to the 
distribution of the acids and bases is given in detail in a Note on the 
Distribution of Acids and Bases in a solution containing Calcium,
