" Sauerbier, a very large, thin-skinned, exceedingly juicy lemon of good flavor, sent 

 through the kindness of Mr. Sauerbier from his own garden. The fruit examined 

 was 3 inches in diameter, with smooth skin, not over one-quarter of an inch thick, 

 and large oil glands. The flesh is composed of large cells which are much elongated 

 in shape and therefore easily broken by pressure. The amount of juice is exception- 

 ally large. Nearly three-fourths of an ordinary glassful was squeezed by hand from 

 a single fruit. Juice of good flavor, somewhat aromatic, but the fruit was too ripe to 

 judge fairly. The tree is said to be small. This is the finest lemon seen by us on the 

 expedition, and its discovery was made by Mr. Lathrop." (Fairchild.)

 lence. ' ' ( Fairchild. )
