    CLASSIFICATION OF THE MATTER OF THE TABLE. WEIGHTS, AND SPFXIFIC GRAVITY. On looking down the column of weights, it will be observed that the calculi ranged fiom two grains to one thousand and twenty seven grains. The aggregate weight is found by calculation to ba 16029 grains, and the average that of 91 grains. The specific gravity of 45 only was taken, the lowest result being 1.19S, and the highest 1.812, with an average of 1.509. Of this number (43) with an average specific gravity of 1.509 there were, Calculi of earthy pliosphates* 9, with average sp. gr. of 1.338 ofurates* 5, 1.604 ofOxalate of lime* 1, '• 1687 of mixed constitution! 30, *' 1.533 CHEMICAL RESULTS. 1st of the nuclee.
