840 Report oF THE CHEMIST OF THE 
An examination of the above table, together with the three 
tables preceding this, enable us to make the following state- 
ments: | ; 
(1.) The amount of casein and albumen during the whole 
geason varied from 2.53 pounds to 3.76 pounds in 100 pounds of 
milk, and averaged 3.14 pounds. 
(2.) The amount of casein during the whole season varied 
from 1.93 pounds to 3.00 pounds and averaged 2.48 pounds in 100 
pounds of milk. 3 
(3.) The amount of albumen during the whole season varied 
from 0.55 pounds to 0.86 pounds, and averaged 0.66 pounds in 100 
pounds of milk. 
(4.) There were for each pound of albumen in the milk from 
a 
2.6 pounds to 4.9 pounds of casein, with an average of 3.76 — 
pounds. The tendency was for the albumen to diminish, relative 
to the casein, as the season advanced. 
These statements are presented in summary form as follows:

We will now take up two of Blyth’s statements and see how 
they agree with our facts. 
(1.) “The amount of albumen in milk is really fairly constant 
and averages 0.7 per cent. In healthy cows it is a very constant — , 
quantity.” Our results show that the average amount of albu- 
men in normal milk is not far from 0.7 per cent., viz.: 0.66 per |
