of eight or ten ovens and upper rooms, on either 

 side of a passage about 100 feet by 15, and 12 

 in height. The thermometer in any part is not 

 less than 86 or 88 Fahr. ; but the average heat 

 in the ovens does not reach the temperature of 

 fowls, which is 104. 



" Excessive cold or heat are equally prejudicial 

 to this process ; and the only season of the year at 

 which they succeed is from the i5th of Imsheer 

 (23d of February) to the I5th of Baramoodeh (24th 

 of April), beyond which time they can scarcely 

 reckon upon more than two or three in a 

 hundred."
