Thewhite, finely pulverized sediment is dissolvedon the addition of a drop- of acetic acid, withthe formation, sometimes of few, sometimesof many, bubbles consisting of carbonic also, mixed with the amorphoussediment, small, colorless, wedge-shaped crystals in the Male, 23 arc found, the bases of which appear bevelled ;these consist of crystalline phosphate of crystals appear sometimes single, and some-times so grouped together that several crystalslie side by side with their apices convergingto a single point. Moreover, whole rosettes orsheaves are seen, of which the bases of the crys-tals form the periphery, while the apices uniteat the middle point of the rosette or sheaf(Fig. 2). A rare sediment, sometimes foundmixed with the crystalline phosphate of lime, isthe crystalline phosphate of magnesia. This ap-pears usually in the
