                                    ----------------------------------

White efflorescence from linen wrappings from small child's mummy (317, B(2))

This efflorescence consists largely of common salt, but it contains also a

small proportion of a fatty material (now in the state of fatty acids)

which has a pleasant aromatic smell suggestive of pine (? the so-called

cedar-oil mentioned in Egyptian literature).
