Ghee,  or  clarified  butter,  is  produced  generally
from  the  milk  of  buffaloes,  and  is  universally  used
in  native  eookery.  As  an  article  of  commerce,  ghee
possesses  some  claim  to  importance,  many  thousands
of  maunds  being  sent  every  season  from  some  of
the  grazing  districts  to  the  more  cultivated  parts,
especially  to  the  Western  provinces.  It  is  generally
conveyed  in  dubbahs,  or  bottles  made  of  green
hide.

Fish  liver  oil  is  now  generally  employed  in  the
Government  medical  departments  in  lieu  of  the
cod-liver  oil,  and  is  prepared  in  large  quantities  on
the  western  and  Malabar  coasts  both  for  home  use
and  exportation.  The  oil  is  manufactured  from  the
livers  of  sharks,  savv-fishes,  cat-fishes,  and  some
species  of  ray-fishes.  The  sharks  are  mostly  obtained
during  Octöber  and  November,  when  sardines  are
plentiful,  the  fishing  being  carried  on  in  the  deep
sea  from  4  a.m.  until  sunset,  and  putrid  beef  or
porpoise  flesh  used  on  the  hook,  which  is  attached
by  a  chain  to  the  line.  Nets  are  not  used,  owing  to
the  large  size  of  the  fish  from  which  the  best  livers
are  obtained.

SECTION  V.

B.—DYE  STUFFS,  MINEEAL  AND  OEGANIC.

India  produces  a  large  variety,  and  amongst  them
the  most  valuable  of  organic  materials  for  the  use
of  the  dyer.  Those  which  are  not  indigenous  have
been  introduced  with  success,  and  when  we  name
indigo,  cutch,  madder,  sappan  wood,  safflower,
mangrove  bark,  nut  galls,  myrabolans,  and  many
others,  it  will  he  judged  that  our  “  Empire  in  the
East  ”  has  great  resources  in  dye  stuffs.  The  collections
  sent  to  the  present  Exhibition  are  neither
large  nor  numerous  (indigo  itself  being  almost  unrepresented),

  but  they  are  useful  as  an  indication  of
the  resources  at  command.
