Both waters, on evaporation, gave a strong alkaline reaction. The 
compositions of these waters are almost identical with the analyses of 
that taken from the No. 1 Corrella Bore (private) ; also two samples 
from two artesian bores at Bourke. The samples received were too 
small for a more detailed analysis.
