No. 2 Light Field Battery, 9th Schleswig-Holstein Field Artillery, fired 184 
rounds per gun; No. 2 Light Field Battery, Hessian Artillery Corps, fired 160

fired 142 rounds per gun; and other batteries fired 137, 136, 133, 126, 117, 115, 
and 108 rounds per gun. 
But again, the guns of the 2nd Pommeranian Regiment fired 2 rounds per gun; 
and those of the 10th Hanoverian Regiment fired 17*3 rounds per gun. 
Beaumont.

No. 3 Horse Artillery Battery, 4th Magdeburg Field Artillery, fired 146 rounds 
per gun. No. 1 Horse Artillery Battery, 3rd Bavarian Field Artillery, fired 
1'3 rounds per gun. 
Noisseville . 
The total average was 59’5 rounds per gun. 
No. 2 Horse Artillery Battery, 1st East Prussian Field Artillery, fired 158 
rounds per gun; and the 5th Heavy Field Battery of the same regiment fired 
155 rounds per gun. The 18 guns of the Reserve of the 5th Army Corps fired 
12 rounds per gun. 
Sedan. 
The total average was 55*8 rounds per gun. 
No. 1 Horse Artillery Battery, 2nd Bavarian Field Artillery, fired 145 rounds 
per gun; and the 4th Heavy Field Battery, 12th Saxon Field Artillery, fired 
132 rounds per gun. No. 9 Heavy Field Battery, Wurtemburg Field Artillery, 
fired 1*6 rounds per gun. 
The foregoing figures are sufficient to show the value of the total 
average in estimating tRe ina&imtim number of rounds required in 
action. Whether the number of rounds we carry at present is suffi¬ 
cient oT insufficient^ it is not for me to decide; but the whole question 
in dispute seems to me to turn rather upon the number of rounds in 
the gun-limber than upon that in the wagons, as was pointed out by 
Colonel E. Biddulph in the discussion that followed Captain Sladen ; s 
lecture.
