Abstract
MR. WARD in his letter to NATURE (May 10, p. 29), respecting the salt industry in the United States, makes no mention of the important and numerous contributions to the literature of that subject by Dr. Charles A. Goessmann, at the present time Director of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station, but formerly, from 1861 to 1869, chemist to the Onondaga Salt Company, at Syracuse, N.Y. While filling that position he investigated very thoroughly the salt deposits of New York, Michigan, Goderich, Canada, and Petit Anse Island, Louisiana, and his published reports and memoirs (some twenty in number) upon the salines, brines, and mineral springs of the country form, for the period which they cover, a very complete and valuable record of the salt industry in the United States.
