* Samples 1 and 2 are of milk from the Hongkong Dairy Farm Co., in Victoria, Hongkong. 

 The samples are from bottled milk from a herd of from 500 to 700 European cows, most of 

 which are Holsteins. Samples 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are from the mixed milk of the Sinkee Dairy, 

 in Canton. In this dairy 90 to 100 foreign cows are kept, Guernseys and Shorthorns pre- 

 dominating. Samples 8, 9, and 10 are from the mixed milk of four cows in the Canton 

 Christian College dairy. These four cows are of mixed breeding with Shorthorn blood 

 predominating.
