§70. The ash in this analysis, of course, represents the thor ¬ 
oughly oxidized, non-combustible portion of the plant containing a ^ 
considerable portion of both the chlorin and sulfur. The chlorin and 
sulfur given above are the quantities contained in the air-dried hay 
as obtained by direct determination. The percentage of ash as 
given is too high by the amount of the chlorin and sulfur retained 
which is from 92 to 98 per cent, of the total sulfur and chlorin re¬ 
spectively, and also by the oxygen which the ash constituents may 
have taken up. The percentage of oxygen is, for these reasons, 
retention of chlorin and sulfur and the possible absorption of oxy¬ 
gen by the ash constituents, too low, for which reason, I have des¬ 
ignated it as approximate only.
