Abstract
MUCH attention has recently been devoted by Austrian and Bohemian geologists to the solution of an interesting question, that of the origin of those peculiar glassy bodies which are known collectively as moldavite or bouteillenstein. It has been considered by some authors that these fragments are to be looked upon as representing the relics of prehistoric glass-manufacture; but, as recently noted in the columns of NATURE, Herr J. Bareš has lately brought forward experimental proofs to refute the theory of the artificial origin of moldavite glass.
