INVESTIGATION OF 1907. 21 



COMMENTS BY IMPORTERS. 



A copy of each analysis was sent to the consignee in all cases, but 

 in some instances they were returned marked "Not found" and 

 these firms could not be located. In a few cases the consignees made 

 some comments, the most important of which are quoted below: 



Your laboratory No. 198 represents an importation of sumac with 25 per cent 

 lentiscus, especially so ordered and imported for a New York firm with their knowledge 

 that it was so admixed and was known in the trade as No. 2 goods. Laboratory No. 

 156, b showing an abundance of lentiscus * * * [is] the same as lot No. 198 * * * 

 [and] has been imported with the condition of second quality, i. e., to contain 25 per 

 cent lentiscus. 



LEBER & SON. 



Leber & Son again stated on February 20, 1908, that the lot from 

 which sample No. 151 l c was taken was imported mixed with lentiscus 

 on the order of the purchaser. 



Analysis of Nos. 124 to 128 * * * agree very closely with our own determina- 

 tions. * * *
