* The hot-eel trade being in conjunction with the
pea-soup, the same stall, candles, towels, sleeves, and
aprons do for both.

* There are altogether 500 vendors of emonade in
the streets, but 300 of these sell also ginger-beer, and
consequently do not have separate stalls, &c.

† The street-sellers of rice-milk are included in the
street-sellers of curds and whey; hence the stalls,
saucepans, cups, &c., of the two classes are the same.
