The remainder of this substance became White at the bottom of the Crucible, after having swell'd very much. The other Water was very Limpid, and of a Taste more Vinous than the former; during Evaporation there were not form'd any Films swimming on the Surface but only little White Flakes, which precipitated to the bottom. The wholedry Sediment was 1/384 of the weight of the Water; and that Quantity was proportionally less than that of the Sedi∣ment of the Water of Andabre. It con∣tain'd also less Salt, which was only a Moity; being Nitrous as the other, and its Earth was less Dissoluble in di∣still'd Vinaigre, and less Fusible in the Fire. Of the Wa∣ter of Vahls, from the Springs la Marquise, and la Marie.Near Vahls, in Dauphiné, there are four Springs of Mineral Water, which are, la Do∣minique, S. Jean, la Marquise, & la Marie. The Water of the first being diffe∣rent from the other, the Experiments thereon have been refer'd to the Sixth Class. 0
