INTEREST has recently been expressed in the possibility that the interstellar dust contains a silica component (ref. 1, and R. C. Gilman, private communication). The purpose of this communication is to point out that silicon dioxide has strong absorptions in the 8-14µ atmospheric ``window'' which should be observable with ground-based infrared telescopes. We have computed normalized extinction spectra (extinction cross-section divided by geometrical cross-section) for crystalline quartz and vitreous silica.
