AMBER! (Continued) lias a wonderful history. Its study is interesting and educational, yet one cannot enter deeply upon the subject in this space, but simply touch upon a general outline. Amber was once liquid, of a sticky, elastic nature, as it 00/,ed from the primeval trees and contacted with the forest floor and undergrowth. Besearch has proved that the Amber tree forests became buried through the evolution of the earth’s surface. As evidence of that to-day, and taking the kauri gum of New Zealand as an example, we know that when the bark of the kauri tree is bruised or cut the resinous gum flows freely. Also it can be likened to the drops of gum to bo seen on cherry trees. The writer has even chewed the soft kauri gum taken from the trees, as an indication of its soft nature. Lo, in the fossilised Amber resin we find prehistoric insects, leaves, seeds, small flowers, pieces of foliage, splinters of bark and w-ood; even a shark’s tooth, crab, oyster and other shell life, have been found embedded in it, and perfectly preserved for all time in their natural, vigorous state. It is thus evident that the specimens brought Jo light show that it was once soft enough to completely engulf anything that happened to alight on it, fall on it, or flow over it on its downward path.
