Abstract
THE expedition of the Soviet Academy of Science under the direction of Dr. A. E. Fersman has discovered new deposits of tinstone in Tadjikistan, to the north-east of Stalinabad. The Soviet Union so far has not had its own supply of tin ore, the working of the two deposits in Transbaikalia having only just commenced. The discovery of new rich deposits of tinstone is of great importance to the national economy of the U.S.S.R., particularly in the manufacture of tins for preserved foods, in the motor tractor industry, in the production of steam engines, etc.
