result. In Tables III and IV the figures thus obtained are compared with 

 the total values for the eight eggs and eight chicks dealt with in Tables I 

 and II. As in the latter case the eggs used were taken indiscriminately 

 from various farmers, whereas the eggs analysed together were specially 

 selected hatchable eggs obtained from the dealer, we give in another column 

 the total values for the eggs analysed separately after eliminating the 

 abnormally heavy and abnormally light eggs, Nos. 1, 5, 11, and 15. 



The percentages of cholesterol in eggs and chicks calculated from the data 

 obtained by analysing a number of eggs or chicks together are nearer the 

 truth than the averages obtained from the analyses of single eggs or chicks, 

 as in the latter case the errors of the various estimations would be
