1. Nicholson's Dicty Putrefaction.- Every animal substance exposed to the air at a temperature above ten degrees of Reamur (Fahr 54 1/2) and moistened with its own serous humour putrefacties Word for wood from Chaptal III 400. 2. Chaptal III 395 Moisture is an indispensible requisite to facilitate putrifaction and any substance may be defended from this change by dry compleatly drying. This was performed by Cazalet and Villers of Bordeaux by means of Stoves the Meat thus prepared was preserved for several years without having contracted any bad flavor. The Mummy of this sort from Teneriffe in Trinity Colledge Cambridge The sands and light pervious earth preserved the bodies of men only by virtue of the prosperity of exhausting the juices and drying the solids. From this cause it is that intire caravans have been discovered in Arabia consisting of men and Camels perfectly preserved in the Sands under which the impetuous winds have buried them. ibid. Mummies of this sort from Teneriffe are kept in Trinity Colledge Library Cambridge.
