The next sample is a ground-water from a drained, cultivated 
field. The draining was effected at this place by an open ditch and as 
the water plane had fallen below the bottom of the ditch there was 
no other than ground-water to be obtained. This residue was also 
prepared in the field and the total solids are not given.
