The fat globules vary in size, according to Besana, from 0-0047 

 mm. to 0-0309 mm. This is not in accord with Pizzi's observa- 

 tions (p. 314). Sheep's milk throws up no cream if left to rest, 

 owing to its great viscosity. The cream may, however, be 

 removed by a separator, or by dilution with an equal bulk of 

 water.
