Extract

The resin to which the following paper refers was obtained by Professor Bayley Balfour from a species of Dracæna which he discovered in Socotra during his visit to that island in the year 1880, and to which he has given the name of Dracæna Cinnabari. In outward appearance and in general physical properties the resin differs from the varieties known commercially under the name of dragon's blood. With the view of ascertaining if these differences depend upon difference of chemical composition, we undertook, at Professor Balfour's request, to make an examination of the resin.
