The five in the "favorable" list which were on the United States 

 market in the summer of 1907, but are not in the permitted list of 

 Food Inspection Decision No. 76, namely: 



65. Bordeaux B (2); 

 105. Fast Red (1); 

 462. Acid Magenta (2); 



512. Eosin (2); 



520. Rose Bengal (2), 



are tinctorially provided for in that list; only one of the 21 colors 

 recommended by Behal was not on the market of the United States 

 hi the summer of 1907, namely, 467 Acid Violet 6B, and this is in the 

 " favorable" list. The reasons for the non-inclusion of these colors 

 are given on page 167. 



CONCLUSIONS. 



It is clear from an inspection of the preceding analysis of the six 

 lists just given that the confusion referred to on page 165 as existing 

 in the three recommendations made before the formulation of the 

 permitted list of Food Inspection Decision 76 is not at all diminished 

 by these six lists published after the announcement of that decision, 

 as is shown in the following table: 



Analysis of six lists published after the issuance of F. I. D. 76. 



The same wide differences of opinion as to the four points discussed 

 on page 166 not only continue but are accentuated.
