Abstract
LOOKING over the “School Geography” of Dr. Clyde (Edinburgh, 1870), I find, on page 32, in the paragraph headed “Russian Lakes,” the following remarkable statement:— “In the south-east region, not only the lakes, but the very rain and dew likewise are salt, a phenomenon common to all the shores of the Caspian and Sea of Aral” (the italics are mine). Will some one of your readers kindly refer me to the traveller's tale in which this myth originated.
