Abstract
MR. THISELTON DYER has rendered a great service, not only to botanists, but also to physicists and mineralogists, by recalling attention to the very interesting substance known as “tabasheer”(NATURE, vol. xxxv. p. 396). As he truly states, very little fresh information has been published on the subject during recent years, a circumstance for which I can only account by the fact that botanists may justly feel some doubt as to whether it belongs to the vegetable kingdom, while mineralogists seem to have equal ground for hesitation in accepting it as a member of the mineral kingdom.
