According to the figures in Table V, the loss of sugar during 
the process of manufacturing amounted to 24.99 per cent of the 
sugar introduced. We also determined the loss by measuring 
the quantity and polarizing average samples of molasses and by 
weighing and sampling the cake issuing from the filter presses. 
The results obtained are tabulated in Tables VI and VII, and 
are summarized in Table VIII.
