This sample consisted of 59 R of a moderately hard, reddish-brown mottled clay, only slightly plastic when mixed with water.
A preliminary washing test of the red clay showed that it contained about 25 per cent, of clay and 75 per cent, of The results obtained from this test residue, the latter apparently consist showed that the crude material yielding of indurated clay generally of a ed 56.6 per cent. of clay, and 43.4 per pink colour.

amount of plastic clay contained in this sample, and of the comparatively low price of terra cotta ware, it was not considered that it would be economically practicable to refine the red clay by washing. No tests were therefore carried out with the washed material
The washed clay was a fairly-good texture and colour, though not dead white. It worked well in all the tests to which it was submitted. The re-
sidue consisted mainly of kaolinised felspar and a little quartz
