Scientific paper

Messrs. Lawson and Moon record in NATURE of January 1 (p. 40) the eating of clay by Quetchua Indians from Lake Titicaca, South America. A similar clay is eaten by the Baganda, who are also vegetable eaters, their staple food being plantains and sweet potatoes. The use of the clay appears in this case to be confined to pregnant women and is eaten after work almost as a sweetmeat, the clay having first been smoked in the hut fire.
