For six titles (3, 4, 15, 24, 27, and 31) no corresponding Green 

 Table number could be determined. 



Of the remaining 27 titles, No. 9 includes part of No. 10, 32 includes 

 19, 9 includes part of 25, 8 includes 26, 17 includes 21, 11 is identical 

 with 30, and 18 is identical with 29, all on the assumption that the 

 correct connections between title and Green Table numbers have been 

 made. Therefore these 27 titles are, in fact, only 25 titles; of these 

 25 titles, 13 refer to but one Green Table number each; the remaining 

 12 titles each refer to two or more Green Table numbers. 



The Green Table numbers above given are now arranged in the 

 following four classes according to the literature hereinbefore com- 

 piled and rated (see p. 63) : 



(a) Only unfavorable reports: 3, 516, 639; total, 3. 



(6) Only favorable reports: 4, 65, 85, 102, 103, 105, 107, 435, 462, 477, 512, 517, 521, 

 599, 692; total, 15. 



(c) Conflicting reports: 9, 86, 427, 428, 448, 451, 480, 563, 601; total, 9. 



(d) No reports: 54, 56, 1 57, 63, 144, 454, 513, 514, 515, 518, 562, 603, 640; total, 13. 



The 15 Green Table numbers of class (b) are the only ones here of 

 interest; they include 6 out of the 7 permitted colors of Food Inspec- 

 tion Decision 76; of the remaining 9, 4 (102, 477, 521, 599) were not 

 on the United States market in the summer of 1907. The remaining 

 5 are as follows. (The number in parentheses is the number of 

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

 market in the summer of 1907) : 



65. Fast Red B (2). 462. Acid Magenta (2). 



103. Azorubin S (6). 512. Eosin (3). 



105. Fast Red E (1). 



The reasons for the noninclusion of these colors in the permitted 

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