   Note: Accurate analysis of heavily leaded alloys is difficult due to segregation within the casting.

Fe – Iron (m.p.1525°c) Sb – Antimony (m.p.629°c)
Co – Cobalt (m.p.1490°c) Sn – Tin (m.p.232°c)
Ni – Nickel (m.p.1452°c) Ag – Silver (m.p.960°c)
Cu – Copper (m.p.1083°c) Bi – Bismuth (m.p.268°)
Zn – Zinc (m.p.418°c) Pb – Lead (m.p.327°)
As – Arsenic (m.p.450°c) Au – Gold (Aurum) (m.p.1062°c)
S - Sulphor (m.p.115-119°c)

TESTS ON THE YELLOW DEPOSITS IN THE MONKEYS

Information supplied by Dr John Esson, Department of Geology, University of Manchester:

1. The material of the fountain is a yellow sandstone. Quartz with a small amount of carbonate.

2. Yellow material scraped from monkeys (percentages):

Technique would not have detected H, S, C, N, O and CL, so they may constitute the missing constituents.

Cr = Chromium H = Hydrogen
Al = Aluminium S = Sulpher
Na = Sodium C = Carbon
Ma = Magnesium N = Nitrogen
Br = Bromine CL = Chlorine
Ti = Titanium
