Dr. Reamer of Jackson sent a bottlc of the water to Prof. Kedzie for analysis.

Some antedi lavian monster may be buried deeply in the drift forniation, too deeply for decomposition until the access of air by the well prsmoted putrefaction. I am certain that carbonate of ammonia in the quantities found, phosphate of ammonia and the putrefactivo odor can come only from decomposition of animal matter.
