Abstract
IN connexion with the letter on “Pliny's Water Mill” in NATURE of June 13, the accompanying photograph (Fig. 1), taken by me at Ching-chong-do, in Korea, in September 1899, may possibly be of interest. It represents a water-actuated ‘pestle and mortar’ commonly used at that time in the hill country of Korea for hulling rice.
