<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">solution</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(chemical solution)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for saline that I've seen before include "like the Mediterranean?" , "Salty like sea water" , "solution" , "Containing salt or salts" , "Containing salt for aliens" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, The Guardian, the Canadiana, the USA Today, the Universal, the Evening Standard, The Daily Mail and The Sun.
