I have met with almost as great variations in a much smaller 
space than above, the accompanying sketch represents the bottom 
of the Kissengen Well ; it is three feet in diameter, and lined with 
bricks resting on the exposed shale ; there are four bore-holes about 
twelve inches apart of different depths, as represented in the lower 
sketch : while A yields a water containing 682 grains of solids per 
gallon, B yields one containing only 478, and C which is ten inches 
from B, produces a water containing 929 grains ; D is the weakest 
of all, containing only 428 grains. A remarkable fact is the small 
quantity of carbonate of iron in all these waters issuing from the 
boreholes, not exceeding from one third to three quarters of a grain j 
another point of interest is the comparatively large quantity of 
barium present in the water from the borehole marked C.
