From the above results it will be seen that by far the greater 
part of the kerosene is found in the uper layer, while only a small 
portion of the oil is carried to the lower by the lime as it settles 
down. 
The percentage of kerosene in the top layers varies somewhat 
with the different limes used. This difference is not notice- 
able in the lower layers.
