Mineral waters occur at Kooslee, Churgaon, Bumhee Boomba, and Nurgur Aloha.
Mineral water of a spring walled in at Kud jora in Jessore is a carbonated, calcareous, and magnesian water, with a slight proportion of iron in the state of carbonate, and held in solution in the water.
Mineral water of Sosonea, north of Hazaribagh, is a carbonated and slightly chalybeate spring, with a little muriate and carbonate of soda, also in solution.
Sind abounds in mineral waters.
There is a mineral spring in the Singpho country at Khouang in Assam.
In China the springs of mineral waters are generally thermal or solfataras, yielding ous gases, steam, and warm water, and their warm character gives them their Chinese names ts'iuen, Wan-t'ang, and Fuh-ts'iuen. The hot sulphur mines of Tung-t'ang, about 50 miles from Chefoo, resemble those of Atami in Japan, and are useful in skin diseases and the contractions and pains of rheumatism and other diseases. Twenty miles N.N.W. from Macao is the island of Hiang-shau, in which the hot springs Yung-mah occur, with a temperature of 170°. The waters contain salt, sulphate of soda, chloride of calcium, and are useful in skin diseases. In the gypsum districts of the division of Ying-ching, in Hu-peh, are several warm medicinal springs, resorted to by the sick. Large quantities of salt and fibrous gypsum come from these places in Ying-ching. Hwang-shan, a hill to the west of Hwui-chau-fu city, in Ngan-hwui, has cinnabar springs which are reddened at times, and are hot enough to make tea. A clear, hot spring, Yuh-shih-ts'iuen, is met with at Li-than, near Si-ngan-fu (Shen-si). At the Lu-shan, near Kin-kiang (Kiang-si), are warm springs, once much vaunted for their efficacy in syphilitic, leprous, and atous disorders. At Li-hien, in Shen-si, is a
carbonated spring called Li-ts'iuen or Kan-ts'iuen, whose• sweet waters were deemed to encourage vegetation and to prolong life, and to be cooling, stomachic, and corrective. To the S.E. of the city of Hoh-king-chau, in Li-kiang-fu (Yun-nan), are warm mineral springs, esteemed in the ment of abdominal tumours. There is the brated well of A-yih, at a place about 60 li to the N.E. of the district city of Yang-ku, in chau-fu (Shan-tung), anciently called O-yih or The well is 70 Chinese feet deep, and its waters have a gelatinous principle like the waters of Bareges in France. The water is evaporated, and produces a gelatine called O'kiau or asses' glue. In Formosa, at its northern end, 1750 feet above the sea, are sulphur pits, in the rocky gorge of a mountain, and 85 miles east of Tamsui, and clouds of steam and sulphureous vapour issue from rents in the rocks. There are several hot springs and pools, and a miniature geyser throws intermitting jets of boiling water to a height of 50 or 60 feet. Another solfatara is near the village of Kim-pao-li, some seven or eight miles to the N.W. of Kelung. In Japan similar solfa taras occur, in the department of Satsuma, in the island of Kiu-siu. The ground is volcanic and impregnated with sulphur. At the southern end of Satsuma is the burning sulphur island of Ivoo sima.
