Abstract
IN the Bulletin of Agricultural Intelligence issued by the International Institute of Agriculture, just to hand, there is a précis of an article in the Annales de Gembloux under the heading "Plastic Materials with a Casein Basis: Galalith and Cornalith". The latter word is not in the N.E.D. or in the recently published " Dictionary of Scientific Terms". Galalith, or "milk-stone", is well known, and cornalith will be "horn-stone". The first sentence in this précis reads:" Galalith and cornalith, two substances made from casein that has been treated with formalin, are produced now in various countries, especially in France, where there are already several factories".
