82 O. C. KAROP ON WHAT WAS THE AMICIAN TEST ? 



Obviously, therefore, I have not been able to satisfy myself that 

 there was a fixed or standard Amician test. The matter is, of 

 course, of archaeological interest only at the present time ; but 

 it is certainly singular how a term which thirty or forty years 

 ago was the common property of microscopists should have become 

 so obscure and mysterious, and I trust some here will be able to 

 explain it.
