    Where cancer is practically unknown— Total Sulphur per Cent. Glenferness Moss, Nairnshire 0-101 Moss Side Moss, Nairnshire 0-189 West Coast of Ross-shire 0 120 Where it is rare— Nistaben, Orkney 0-237 North Verge of Ardclach, Nairnshire 0-238 Where it is very common— Sebay, Orkney .... 0-890 Red Loam Peat, Orkney 0-676 Tankerness, Orkney 0-750 The surprising result is shown, therefore, that although peat fuel is generally understood to contain practically no sulphur, some peat from the cancer districts in Orkney actually shows nearly 1 per cent, of sulphur, or in excess of the amount which is contained in many coals.
