The sirup contained 97.82% sucrose and 0.45% invert sugar. 

 The color was 4, flavor 1, and score 925. 



42. Number 42 was inoculated with red yeast CVII. A 

 milky appearance developed and the organism was recovered in 

 considerable quantity in association with bacteria producing non- 

 llnorescent colonies. The plates gave a count of 13,650,000 

 colonies per cc. The reaction was 19% N/100 acid. The sirup 

 contained 93.27% sucrose, and 2.14% invert sugar. The color 

 was 5, flavor 2-, and score 800; depreciation from control, color 



1, flavor i 2 , and score 125. 



43. Number 43 was a control heated to boiling and incu- 

 bated for 3 days. The material became cloudy the third day 

 and the plates showed a development of 1,625.000 organisms per 

 cc, mostly of the non-fluorescent type. The reaction was 6.5% 

 N/100 acid. The sirup contained 94.19% sucrose and 2.64' ', 

 invert sugar. The color was 7, flavor 2, and score 800; deprecia- 

 tion from cold control, color 3, flavor 1, and score 125. 



44. Number 44 was inoculated with fluorescent organism 

 CXLVIII. A greenish type of clouding developed and the or- 

 ganism was recovered in numbers amounting to 9,000,000 per 

 cc. The reaction was 10% N/100 acid. The sirup contained 

 93.039? sucrose and 1.40% invert sugar. The color was 9, 

 flavor 3, and score 675; depreciation from control, color 5, flavor 



2, and score 250. 



45. Number 45 was a control incubated for 3 days in the 

 cold. The sap remained perfectly clear. The plates revealed a 

 bacterial content of 195,000 per cc. The reaction was 4.5% 

 N 100 acid. The sirup contained 96.28%: sucrose and 0.51% 

 invert sugar. The color was 4. flavor x. and score 925; depre- 

 ciation from control (number 4O, color o. flavor o, and score o. 



• 46. Number 46 was inoculated with pink coccus (TV. 

 Pronounced clouding of the milky type and a yeasty odor de- 

 veloped. The plates showed a count of 14,300,000 organisms 

 per cc. among which the introduced organism was predomin- 

 ant. The reaction was 10% N/100 acid. The sirup contained
