[...] This table contains in a condensed form all the results of
Voelcker's analyses of the straws which are given in his paper published
in the _Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England_, vol. xxii.,
part 2. 1862.

Nos. 5, 6, and 7 were analysed shortly after being cut, when they
contained a high proportion of water. They have, therefore, been
calculated to contain 16 per cent. of moisture so as to arrive at
accurate relative results.
