The Sacred Tree of Kum-Bum

Abstract

THE eighth number of the Bulletin du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle for 1895, which has just reached me, contains a paper by M. Édouard Blanc, entitled “L'Arbre à prières de Goumboum.” This reminds me of a brief article which I contributed to NATURE in 1883 (vol. xxvii. pp. 223, 224).
