The ammoniaco-magnesian phos-2>hate is almost always depositedas a result of the decompositionof urea, and the deposit usuallycommences on the surface of thefluid, where the urea is most ex-posed to the air. The phosphate of lime and thephosphate of ammonia are thrown down if the urine becomes alkaline from hxed alkali; as after veg-etable food or the carbonates of the fixed alkali, or after the saltswhich form them have been taken. Decomposition of the urea inthese cases is generally rapid, and ammoniaco-magnesian phosphateis also produced. Such, also, is the case with urine of chronic
