IODINE  IN  MINERALS,  PLANTS  AND  ANIMALS.

and  pure.  Reinsch  found  it  to  contain  from  one  to  two  per  cent, 
of  bromide  of  ammonium,  but  no  trace  of  iodine. 
Lembert  found  iodine  in  the  Jura  limestones  near  Lyons  and 
Montpelier.  He  was  unable  to  ascertain  in  what  state  of  combi- 
nation the  iodine  exists  in  the  limestone,  but  from  the  statement 
of  Chatin,  that  all  rocks  in  which  iodine  has  been  detected  con- 
tain likewise  protocarbonate  of  iron,  he  is  of  opinion  that  this 
circumstance  may  explain  the  presence  of  iodine  in  most  ferrugi- 
nous waters. 
Chatin  detected  iodine  in  clay,  vegetable  mould,  sulphur,  cin- 
nabar, iron  and  manganese  minerals,  in  minute  quantity  in  gyp- 
sum, white  chalk  and  limestone. 
It  has  been  found  in  a  great  number  of  brines  and  other  mine- 
ral waters,  where,  according  to  Morin,  it  is  in  the  state  of  iodide 
of  sodium,  calcium,  or  magnesium  ;  in  the  brines  of  Stilze  (Meck- 
lenburg ;)  of  Kolberg  (Pomerania  :)  of  Salzuflen  and  Konigsbronn, 
near  Unna,  of  Rehme,  near  Minden,  of  Schonebeck,  Halle,  Du- 
remberg  and  Kosen,  Hubertsbrunnen,  near  Thale  (Hartz,)  Ar- 
sern  and  Salzungen,  Schmalkalden,  Salzhausen  and  Creuznach, 
Bolechow  and  Drochobyez  (Galicia,)  Kenohwa  (North  America,) 
and  in  the  province  Antioqua  (New  Granada.)  In  the  analysis 
of  the  Wurtemberg  brines  by  Fehling,  and  of  the  Soolsprudel  by 
Bromeis,  no  mention  is  made  of  iodine,  but  Denecke  found  traces 
of  iodide  of  magnesium  in  his  analysis  of  the  brine  at  Werl 
(Westphalia.) 
Iodine  has  been  found  in  the  waters  of  a  spring  near  Saragossa ; 
in  the  thermal  water  of  Albano  ;  in  a  spring  water  near  Sales 
(Piedmont ;)  in  several  saline  waters  near  Ascoll ;  in  the  sul- 
phuretted water  of  Cartel  Nuovo  d'Asti ;  in  the  thermal  water  of 
Aix  (Savoy ;)  in  the  water  of  Bonnington  spring,  near  Leith  ;  in 
the  water  of  Bad  Marienbad,  Carlsbad,  Heilbrunn,  and  the  spring 
water  of  Kunzig  (Bavaria ;)  in  the  goitre  water  of  Hall ;  in  the 
sulphuretted  water  of  Trutkawiec,  and  the  alkaline  water  of  Ino- 
wicz  (Galicia  ;)  in  the  water  of  Wildegg ;  the  sulphuretted  water 
of  Aix  la  Chapelle  ;  in  the  spring  water  of  Cheltenham ;  of  As- 
sinam,  in  India  ;  of  Sail-lis  Chateau  Morand  (Dep.  d'Loire  ;)  of 
Sulz  (Alsace  ;)  of  Yarennes  (Canada ;)  of  Evaux,  Neris,  Vichy, 
St.  Honord,  Barages  and  Cauterets ;  of  Gebagan  (India ;)  Kran- 
kenheil  (Bavaria  ;)  of  the  spring  near  Halle ;  of  springs  in  Java,
