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 col- 
lections sent to the present Exhibition are neither 
large nor numerous (indigo itself being almost un- 
represented), but they are useful as an indication of 
the resources at command.
