 agree well with the proportions 13 : 9 :2. The percentage of butter fat is

The following table (Table I) contains the analyses made by Dr. 

 Thornley, late Health Officer F. M. S., and the writer, the analyses of 

 buffaloes' milk (Table II) being appended in a separate table for com- 

 parison with that of cows' milk. 



The results obtained by Dr. Leather are also tabulated for com- 

 parison, with slight alterations in the method of tabulating the results 

 in order to be more easily compared with the analyses carried out by 

 us.
