" London, YJth Nov. 1864. 
" Dear Sir, — In the absence of Sir Eoderick Murchison 
from town, Mr Francis Galton left with me a small bottle of 
sand, together with a note from you, requesting him to get 
the contents tested. This has been done in Dr Percy's 
laboratory, and Mr Eichard Smith (Dr Percy's assistant) 
reports as follows : — 
"'The black sand consists chiefly of titaniferous iron ore 
(ilmenite), with small quantities of quartz, magnetic iron 
ore, and scales of yellow mica. The sand is free from gold 
or silver.' 
" Trusting that this information will be in time for your 
forthcoming work, I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, 
"TKENHAM REEKS.
