SIBLEY, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I agree to the judgment, but think it a more direct and satisfactory thing to say simply that the Statute, 21 U.S.C.A. § 361 (e), positively declares that a cosmetic is adulterated if it is not a hair dye and bears or contains a coal tar color other than one from a batch that has been certified according to regulations as provided by § 364; and that this cosmetic is not a hair dye and does contain a coal tar color not from a certified batch. It cannot be sold and may be forfeited by the terms of the statute alone. If the Administrator ought under § 364 to make a list of harmless coal tar colors, and ought to include this one, some procedure must be resorted to other than to sell the cosmetic in defiance of the statute.
