Mason adds the following vernacular names for species of Jasmine: — Tliam-bau- 

 ma li, Myat-la, Then-khwa. The flowers of various species of Ja.iminum e.xliale 

 a most delicious fragrance, especially after snnset, when the eool air of a ganleu 

 where many jasmine bushes are in flower, seems loaded with the perfume. The 

 flowers are used to make garlands of for the person, and also to scent oil by stce]>itig 

 them therein, or alternate layers of jasmine flowers and sesamum seeds are arranged, 

 and after some time the scented seeds arc put in a press and the oil extracted, with 

 the ac(iuired .scent of the flowers. The European method is somewhat ditferent. 

 A number of perforated trays are arranged one above the other in a closed ease, and 

 these trays arc filled alternately with jasmine (or other flowers it is wished to extract 

 the perfume of ) and fresh, sweet, and finely chopped suet. In twelve hours or so 

 the flowers are removed, and perhaps fresh ones substituted, and eventually the suet 

 is washed with ether, which dissolves out the volatile perfume, leaving sufficient 

 aroma in the snet to enable it to be made the basis of a delightful pomade, and this 

 process might be easily put in practice with various Indian flowers.
