fact that solids not fat of milk are much more constant 

 in amount than any of the other constituents usually 

 determined. 



The distributions of these results over the ranges of values 

 observed are represented graphically in the accompanying 

 diagram. In this diagram the percentage deviations of the 

 results from the most probable value have been plotted as 

 abscissse, the percentages of the total number of the 

 results showing these deviations as ordinates.

This diagram shows very clearly how the results tend 

 towards certain values in the case of all of the constituents 

 of human milk estimated, with the exception of the fat.
