concrete oil, another greenish grey ones which is
very abundant,• iron, some particles of oxyde 01
manganese, a'plrosphate of lime, carbonate of lime,
abler, and a considerable quantity' of• sulphur.—
Red hair contains red oil in place of a greenish
black' kind ; and white, or very light hair, differs
from-aIl. the others, as the Oil is pearly colourless,
and it colitelfte tome pttesphistk of otasetsiaj, w kith
