Early nstheds of curina Skins.

The original process of curing skins was probably the simple one of clean ing and drying them. Removal of the hair by maccration in water seems to have been common among the very early tribes, and one writer has sug- gested that the idea was obtained from the natural process of depiIation. They must certainly have been familiar with 1t in the case of drowned animals, where maceation can be plainly ob- served. Following this smoke, sour milk, oil and the brains of the animals themselves were found efficacious. Many of these primitive methods are employed In remote places at the pres ent time.
