Sulphuretted Springs. 
" Sulphur springs," giving off sulphuretted hydrogen, due to 
the decomposition of iron-pyrites, are met with here and there in 
the Liassic clays or shales. These springs are usually more or 
less saline. 
Among those noted are the Daviesville Spa, Burnham, Somerset (derived 
from a well 25 feet deep, through Alluvium and Lower Lias clay) ;* spring at 
Northbrook Farm, Shapwick, west of Glastonbury (Lower Lias) ; spring at 
Chilton-upon-Polden, near Edington, Somerset (Lower Lias and Rhsetic Beds) ; 
the " Black Well " at Queen Camel, north-east of Ilchester ; spring at 
Bowld (or Bould) near Idbury north-west of Burford ; and a saline spring at 
Burton Lazars.f 
Saline Springs. 
Saline waters occur in most formations, sometimes breaking out 
at the surface or being proved in shallow wells, but more often 
being tapped in deeper wells and borings. 
Such waters appear to be more often met with in the Lias, a 
fact to be expected, as the underlying New Red Strata so frequently 
contain rock-salt and gypsum.
