Extract

This mineral tar, which, from its elasticity, though somewhat weak, resembles elaterite, is found at the Craig Well, near Dingwall.

It is an intensely black, lustrous, sticky substance, of the consistency of tar, and from its being associated with albertite it may be looked upon as a variety of that asphalt.
