Of many of these dyes, little or nothing more than the name is known, and the Jury, having no evidence as to their use, are, therefore, wholly unable to express any opinion as to their probable use in this country: they consider the series, however, as highly valuable and important. Several of the dye-stuffs are evidently rich in colour ; most of them may be easily had in large quantities, and at comparatively low piices; they are, consequently, well worthy of the attention of practical dyers.
