32 MS. STEEL: Can we have a look because I have not brought my
33 copy to court?
34

36 are two coloured photographs. Show his Lordship first.

48 in southern parts of the United States. How similar are
49 those photographs there to what you were describing?
50 A. Very similar.

52 MS. STEEL: Perhaps he should explain what the difference is
53 because from the description given the other day I seem to
54 remember actually it was quite different to that.
55
56 MR. RAMPTON: I do not myself wish to ask that question. Do you
57 see any significant differences with what you were
58 describing the other day?
