Abstract
IN Mr. Curzon's recently-published work “Persia and the Persian Question” (vol. i. p. 533), he writes as follows:—“When the wind blows on Lake Urumiah, sheets of saline foam are seen scudding along the surface, and the salt is left upon the shore in a solid efflorescence, sometimes several inches thick. No fish or molluscs live in the waters, whose sole living contents are a species of small jelly-fish, which sustain the swans and wild fowl that are occasionally seen.”
