The figures given for the year 1904 for «£> refer to oil from the 

 dried herb; those for 1905 for oil from the herb in the fresh state. 

 The latter therefore yielded an oil of greater dextrorotatory power but 

 of lower specific gravity. 



Essential Oils, Sicilian and Calabrian. 



Our valued friend, Consul Eduardojacob, of Messina, has once 

 more been kind enough to send us a detailed report on the position 

 of the essence market, as follows: — 



The statistics of the export of essential oils from Sicily and Calabria 

 in the course of 1906 show that the shipments of that year have 

 exceeded those of the previous year by 80084 kilos and 4846293 lire, 

 i. e. by about 8y 3 per cent.
