“ The springs are not regular in the quantity of water which they 
discharge. On the 27th of October last, I estimated that the Soroo 
Noon-poong was discharging about 30 gallons of water per minute. 
The waters of the Burra Noon-poong being mingled with those of the 
jan, renders it difficult to form any just estimate of the quantity of 
water discharged in a given time; this circumstance also accounts for 
the low temperature of the spring.” 
The memoranda are dated, Golaghat, November ist, 1854. c' 
The chemical examination by Dr. Warden yielded the following 
information :— 
parts per 100,000 
Total solids at 100” C..124 
Chlorine.66 !! 
The water was too old for estimation of organic matter. Nitrates 
and sulphates were present: nitrites absent. There was a distinct 
trace of Hg S, but whether this was originally present in the water or 
produced by the action of sulphates in the presence of organic matter 
the analyst was not in a position to offer an opinion. There was black¬ 
ening of the solid residue left after evaporation of the water—on 
ignition—indicating presence of much organic matter.
