Abstract

The mineral waters around Srebrenica in Bosnia which all represent mine waters issuing from old mines have, as a rule, deposited near their orifices more or less extensive deposits of ochre. They all show a distinct radioactivity (2.911- 7.02 mμ c/l.). Only one water, the »Eye Water«, so called because it is used by the peasants of the region as a cure for eye troubles, with a pH = 3 does not deposit any ochre and shows the lowest radioactivity (2.104 mμ c/l.). Besides 1312 p. p . m. of iron the water contains 229 p. p. m. of aluminium and 13.12 p. p. m. of copper.
