whether they possess any inherent qualities as food value or other 

 significance cannot at the present time be satisfactorily interpreted. 



The removal of leucocytes or other corpuscular elements, as colostral 

 cells, from milk bears directly upon the interpretation of the efficiency of 

 clarification, in that such products as garget, etc., are removed, and, 

 further, a measure is established. 



The determinations made by the Biochemical Laboratory of Boston, 

 quoted by Parker,^ by Hammer, ^ and by this laboratory, are therefore 

 appended to illustrate the above views.
