Abstract
ABOUT fifteen years ago the manna of the Sinai desert was identified by Bodenheimer and Theodor1 as the excretion of the scales Trabutina mannipara and Najacoccus serpentinus on the leaves of Tamarix mannifera. Chemically, the manna was determined as a mixture of sucrose and invert sugar2.
