@tryxy116n,
ogrish is correct, 313d is silk because of their traditional silk gowns worn, moulds for 265a and not sure on meal, i'm stuck on that too, but it looks right

@susiecue,
thanks susiecue,
i looked up marl in the oxford dictioary after montereyjack suggested it and it came up with -
marl
an unconsolidated sedimentary rock or soil consisting of clay and lime, formerly used as fertilizer: the ancient right to dig marl for fertilizer
[count noun]: the road cuttings show red and green marls

and meal i couldnt find anything to with fertiliser in it, but i know what you mean, i thought of bone meal, fish meal, blood meal as they too are fertilisers.

Now im really stumped Smile

Queen's Counsel is SILK

As members wear silk gowns of a particular design (see court dress), the award of Queen's or King's Counsel is known informally as taking silk, and hence QCs are often colloquially called silks.

@tryxy116n,
Hi
You are looking for MARL. Meal is coarsely ground cereal.
