production of muriat of ammonia, or sal ammoniac, are with- 
out foundation. 
It is remarkable that uric acid should be found in the camel’s 
urine, and I believe it is the first instance on record, as far as 
relates to the urine of graminivorous animals. 
Mr. Brande’s experiments also show that phosphat of lime 
is present in the urine of these animals, which is in opposition 
to the hitherto received opinion. 
Fourcroy and Dr. Thomson have quoted the analyses of 
camel’s and cow’s urine made by Rouelle, and it may not be 
improper to compare them with those of Mr. Brande.
