According to this mode of judging only 15, or 17 per cent, of the 

 colors suggested by Ernst for food coloring would be regarded as 

 proper for use in foods. 



These 15 embrace 4 of the 7 permitted colors of Food Inspection 

 Decision No. 76, namely, 4, 107, 435, and 517, leaving 11 to be con- 

 sidered. Of these, 5 were not on the United States market in the 

 summer of 1907, namely, 102, 399, 467, 521, and 600. 



The remaining 6 are as follows (the numbers in parentheses being 

 the number of sources out of a possible 12 offering them on the United 

 States market in the summer of 1907): 65 (2); 103 (6); 105 (1); 169 

 (1);462 (2); and 512 (3). 



The reasons for the noninclusion of these in the permitted list of 

 Food Inspection Decision No. 76 have been given on page 167.

I. Those colors which are certainly permitted by those regulations. 



II. Those colors whose permitted or prohibited use is doubtful. 



III. Those colors which are certainly prohibited. 



The Green Table numbers contained in each class are classified as 

 follows (the italicized numbers being those of the permitted list of 

 Food Inspection Decision No. 76): (a) Unfavorably reported; (6)
