He calls attention to the extreme variability in the composition 
of the milk of different animals. The large amount of fat contained 
in 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 (41) has made a very large number of analy- 
ses of milks sold in England. As a rule he found the average com- 
position 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 :

that of a she ass, which are worthy of record in this connection :
