    water the required plasticity."

11. By striking out the words "To produce and amalga-
    mate the flux with the sand we utilise," in lines 22 and 23,
    and inserting instead the following words, viz.: "The iron-
    sand is then mixed in predetermined proportions by any
    suitable mechanical agency, and when mixed sufficiently
    the mass is then made into blocks or other suitable agglome-
    rated form. These prepared blocks we propose to dry by the
    aid of."

12. By inserting between the words "the" and "heat," in
    line 23, the word "waste."

13. By striking out the words "by conducting the gases
    escaping therefrom into the amalgamator, afterwards intro-
