Thus, they will say thitt one is black, two is cream, three is pale brown, four is red brown, five is blue, six is tan, seven is green, and so on.

The number of animal oils and fats Used in medicine are extremely nu- merous. Large quantities of oil are obtained in Tasmania from the mut- ton bird and used as a liniment for rheumatism. while the fat of the frigate bird is said to be an excellent specific for sciatica. Cod liver oil is too well known to bear more than mention, and the oil got from the dugong, au aquatic monster related to the whale tribe, bus a high repu- tation as a substitute for that obtained from the smaller fry of the cod.
