If the depositary mixes the deposit with something that cannot be distinguished therefrom and is not similar thereto in type and quality, they shall be liable for it upon such mixing. If it can be distinguished therefrom but is similar thereto in type and quality, there shall be no liability. If some of the mixture perishes in this case, the loss shall be apportioned between them according to their respective shares until the perished part is identified, in which case its liability shall be borne by its specific owner.
