| Notes: | Opuscular source: Letter 380 1915, x p118. Letter from Bolton, Analyst, London, to Hillier - Very many thanks for your letter of 16th inst, I have delayed sending you the sample of the fat from the Koma nuts in order to have an opportunity of comparing, it with the fat which I have extracted from the galls themselves. This I have now done, and find it to be identical, there being about 36% of this fat in the galls. It is not usual to find such a quantity of fat in a gall, and do you think that the c, hemical composition of the fat., which is like kokum butter, gives any clue as to the source, | ||||
