5 8. Another of thefeof a fulphureou6 fmell that will not take 
foap^ and turns 777/7^, I found at Bould m the Paridi of Idbury^. 
in part of the polTeffions of one M"^ Loggan^ a worthy Gentleman, 
(whofe affiftance in the tryal of this VQater^ and furtherance in my 
other bufinefs, I cannot without ingratitude ever forget :) which 
differs from the former only in this, that befides its tinging red 
with powder of Galls^ with fpirit of Vrin it turns white, which 
(as I had obferved before at Banbury) that would not do : whence 
I have ground to fufpeft, that over and befide the ingredients of 
that, here mull in all likelyhood be fomthing of Alum ; and in 
this opinion I am the more confirmed, fince I am informed, by 
the Controverfie between D' Wittie and M' Symffon^ that Vitriol 
znd Alum fomtimes found together, as in the Cliff near the 
Scarborovp Spaw, And that in Sweden § there is a fingle ftone of 
a yellow colour, intermixed with ftreaks of white, and very 
'weighty, that affords vSi/^/^wr, Vitriol^ Alum^ Minium'; now 
that fuch a ftone is here, though I dare not affert, yet queftion- 
lefs there may be fomthing not fo altogether unlike, but whenever 
there is occafion of digging there -about again, the ftones and 
earth may deferve examination *.

with Vitriol only, but that I am called back to Deddington again 
by another Ti?/^/er of a fetid odour, inftenchmuch exceeding all 
before-mentioned. This I met with in a fmall Clofe behind a 
Barn, within a furlong or lefs of that at Mr. Lanes, having the 
Houfe where the Dutchy-Court is kept to the Eaft, and the Guild 
Weft, and belonging to Ch. Ch, ColL in Oxon^ in fmell fo per- 
feftly refembling that of rotten eggs^ and accordingly fo ftrongly 
affefting the fenfe, that I could not fo much as put it to my mouth 
without danger at leaft of ftraining to vomit. Such a one as 
this is mentioned by Georgim Agricola ^, at the Caftle of Steure- 
wald in the Bi/hoprick. of Hildejheim ^ within a mile of Hafda ; 
where, fays he, there is another Spring that fends fortha ftink, 
qualii efl pulveri6 bombardce ey/iin5^i : a defer iption fo agreeable 
alfo to our fulphur well at Deddington^ that as I could not at firft: 
but wonder, that two fuch waters ftiould be found at places fo 
far afunder, fo ftrangly alike ; fo it gave me a hint, that thefe
