Matting is placed over the heaps, and a gradual rise of tempera- ture begins. The increase in temperature is due to certain processes which are taking place within the leaves, whereby their more complex contents become broken down into simpler ones, with an evolution of heat and water. The water thus given off is in vapour form, but it condenses again on the cooler matting covering, and it is the presence of this water which gives rise to the idea of the heaps sweating. Care is needed at this time to prevent overheating, for if the temperature rises unduly, the leaves get darkened in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original De Majumdar, I.
