“The Mustard-seed oil is clear, pungent, and limpid, retaining a great 
deal of the flavour of the fresh seed; it is used by the natives in cookery, 
and externally as a rubefacient ; the price is Rs. 3 per maund of 25 lbs. 
* The 7/pa and Epei oils, which are the produce of the seeds of the 
Bassia longifolia and B. latifolia, are very similar in their appearance 
and properties. They are both solid oils at moderate temperatures, and 
have a fresh pleasant smell when first drawn : they only retain this for 
a moderate time, and begin to decompose in the course of a fortnight 
or three weeks during warm weather, emitting a rancid smell, and se- 
parating into a muddy-brown and a clear liquid, the former being the 
most copious, and falling below the other. These oils can be kept for - 
a long time in a cold climate without undergoing change, and may be 
preserved for a few months in India by being securely corked and ex-
