hoi, at 36°. The turpentine of the larch is not rare in com- 
merce, where are found three species of the kind, well distin- 
guished: 1st, Common Turpentine, or Bordeaux Turpen- 
tine, thick, granulated, opaque, of a strong smell, much used 
by the colormen, but rejected by apothecaries; 2d, Citron 
Turpentine, the most beautiful of all, liquid, of a sweet odor, 
of high price, and rarely employed; 3d, Fine Common Tur- 
pentine, most used in the shops, generally named Strasburg 
Turpentine, but in reality coming from Switzerland. This 
is produced by the larch. The only difference between it and 
the specimen of Maurienne, is that being collected in large 
quantity, and filtered and allowed to settle in large masses, it 
is more fluid and transparent, but never liquid, and never 
as transparent as the turpentine of the fir can be. The other 
characters are such as have been stated.
