[Amber is the resinous exudation of an extinct genusof coniferous trees, formerly existing in great abundancein the Northern hemisphere, and now washed, or dredgedup, on the shores of the Baltic, chiefly between Ronigs-berg and Memel, but sometimes on the coast of Scandi-navia . With it are sometimes found fragments of lignite,and the amber itself frequently incloses small insects andother organic substances. The outside of the amber isoften marked with the impression of branches and bark,and the inside, in one instance, presents the corolla of anunknown flower. The composition of amber is compli-cated, and not invariable. It contains a volatile oil, tworesins soluble in alcohol and ether, succinic acid, and anunsoluble bituminous substance.—D. T. A.]
