published in 1906, attention is called
to the excellent properties Of ain edi

is similar to cocoa butter. and in some,
respects better.
This grease Is extracted from the
seed OF the tree lrvingia gaboniensis,
indigenous to the west coast OF A.

cent. of grease, which Is somewhat
more than copra. The melting point
is Al degrees, Centigrade, against 20
degrees for cocoa. The color Is vel.
