Abstract
Some four years ago I published in this MAGAZINE an analysis of the Fullers Earth of Nuffield, Surrey. The Nuffield samples were given to me by A. Sheridan, Esq., C.E. I now wish to record the analysis of a large bed of this clay at Rhiwlas, Vrongoch, near Bala, N. Wales. The beds are about 60 feet thick, and are upon the property of E. J. Lloyd Price, Esq. In this case also, the samples were sent to me by Mr. Sheridan. The two samples A and B are of somewhat different composition. B contains considerably more silicate of alumina and less alumina than A. A would of course, from a fuller's point of view, be the better earth of the two.
