Abstract
IN reference to the note in NATURE (July 21) respecting musical sand in Australia, permit me to say that the subject has long since received attention there. I am away from references at present, but I should think it must be over two years since Mr. Sidney Olliff kindly sent me samples from Botany Bay. The samples sent were enclosed in small canvas bags, and, though there was probably not more than half-an-ounce of each, they were very musical on reaching me. For purity and musical effect, the Botany Bay samples were more like the Eigg sand than any other kinds I had previously examined.
