An uncharacteristically clear depiction!

Paul, for the separation of oil, I see the numbers 1, 2, 3 & 5 on the image, but I can’t seem to find the number 4: "Oyle swimming above the water." 

(And wouldn’t you say it should be where the #2 is?)

I think it's between the 3 and the 5. It's got mixed up with the hatching.

Thanks! I couldn’t spot it.
