The fluid contains in 1000 parts :— Water 98464 Total solids* 15-36 The solid matter contains :— Organic matter, chiefly mucin with trace of albumen Chlorides equal to sodium chloride... Sodium carbonate Other salts, containing phosphates, potassium salts, &c 6-72 5-73 2-20 0-71 * The soUd matter was carefully dried until its weight was constant, and on ignition gave 8'64 parts of ash. /
