Abstract
IN your notice of Mr. Hornell's description of the Cypriote ‘dukani’ or ‘tribulum’ in the Research Items in NATURE of Aug. 23, it is stated that “In some parts of Spain and the Canary Islands it is in use without the flints as the straw is required whole”. A specimen that I saw at work near Burgos was well provided with flints, which like those in Cyprus are of Miocene age. It is known as a ‘trillo’.
