or streaks, giving very much the appearance of a 
piece of meat. It is very little used and its botanical 
origin is not understood. All the samples examined 
have been collected from the ground. It has been

often quite impure. It is sometimes found in large 
masses and is used for torches, and, mixed with oil, 
for caulking boats.
