CHAP. 26.—STONE OF SCYROS.

In the Isle of Scyros1 there is a stone,2 they say, which floats upon water when whole, but which falls to the bottom when broken into fragments.

1 See B. iv. c. 23.

2 See B. ii. c. 106, Vol. I. p. 137, and Note 4. There is little doubt that this was a volcanic, porous product.
