Malta lemons sent by Messrs. Carew & Co., of Rosa, under the name of Amalbed, 

 or Amttbed: 



a and b show their shape. They were chagrined with large and small foveoh. The skin of 

 both was | of an inch thick, 



c is a rain leaf 



d, e, and /, spring leaves. The " petit grains " or essential oil-cells were very distinct. 



g is the spine. 



There was no doubt in my mind that these were of the Malta lemon type. 

 They had its aroma and its pure acid juice. Probably they had been obtained 

 from I.ucknow. 



NOTE. The Malta lemon is the same as the Palermo and Messina lemons that come 

 to the English markets. I have observed many specimens in the shops that bear traces of 

 their citron origin, in having a rough, channelled, and thick skin.
