The hilJes of oxen and buffaloes are dressed as follows : 

 For each skin take 2 seers (ItVoM^O ^^ quick -lime, and 5 

 or () seers measure (about J-j ale gallon) of water ; and iii 

 this mixture keep the skins for eight days, and rub off the 

 hair. Then for each skin take ten seers, by weight, (al>out 

 6 lb.) of the unpeeled sticks of the iayvgadu {cassia auriai- 

 lata), and 10 seers measure of water (about 2^ ale gallons), 

 and in this infusion keep the skins for ft>ur days. For an 

 equal length of time, add the same quaniity of taijngaduand 

 water. Then wash, and drv the skins in the sun, stietching 

 them out with pegs. Thi^ leather is very bail. 



The oil-makers at Bangalore are a very considerable chss 

 of people, and are of the kind that use two bullocks in their 

 mill, of which a drawing is jriven (Plate VIII *). The mortar 

 is a block of granite. This class of people are called Jotypha- 

 7iaday or Jotynagnrada Ganagaru. They express ihe follow- 

 ing kinds of oil : wuli'-ellu, Jmts*-dluy haralu^ cohri^ ip^yx 

 and hoiiigay. 



, The wjiW-ellu oil is expressed frou] two varieties or 

 species o^ sesarnum seed, called here suruiianrt nuCi cari ellus. 

 They are the same with the wnllay and phnlugana ellus of 

 Scringapatam. The first gives the least oil; but for the 

 table it is esteemed the best of any in the country : the 

 price, however, of the two kinds is the same. T^.e mill re- 

 ceives at one time about seventy seers measure (2-p\*g- Win- 

 chester bushels) of sesamum seed ; and, in the course of 

 grinding, ten Cuclia seers measure of water (S^oV ale quarts) 

 are gradually added. The grinding continues for six hours,
