CHEMICAL ANALYSES OF CAMPBELL ISLAND FRESH WATERS

Abstract Ten samples of freshwater from Campbell Island were analysed for their main ionic constituents. All show a preponderance of sodium and chloride derived from sea water. Potassium, calcium, and magnesium gave slightly higher concentrations than would be expected if derived solely from sea water. It is con-eluded that the excess potassium is derived from the underlying rocks and soil, and the excess calcium and magnesium from the sea by fractionation into salt particles.
