a Proteids and sugar of milk. 
He calls attention to the extreme variability in the composition 
of the milk of different animals. The large amount of fat contained 
ip some of these milks is certainly very striking. On the other 
hand the milks of most of these species show a reasonable similarity 
so far as the amounts of the several constituents are concerned. 
H. Droop Richmond (37) has made a very large number of analyses 
of milks sold in England. As a rule he found the average compo- 
sition of the milks produced in that country to be considerably in 
excess of the legal requirements. The following table will give 
some idea of the results of his analyses for a number of years:
