Abstract
IN a recent issue of NATURE1, R. M. Bond has published determinations of the dissolved oxygen in the water of a swamp in Haiti, and has attributed the contrast between the high values obtained and the low concentrations which L. C. Beadle and I found in swamp waters in the Paraguayan Chaco2 to the results of differences in the amount of calcium carbonate in the soil below the swamps.
