This investigation has not yet been continued long enough nor 
have the determinations been made with sutficient regularity with 
any one cow to indicate what effect the ration, the time from caly- 
ing, age of the cow, etc., may have, but there is evidence that very 
slight changes in the condition of the animal are quickly shown in 
changes of the globules. This has been more noticeable in respect to 
their number than their size, as is shown in Jem’s milk in March 
and April last, during which time 14 examinations were made of 
the morning’s milk and 16 of the evening. ‘The average for these 
were : 
Number in Relative 
.0001 cubic millimeter. size. 
Morning 123 308 
Kyening 157 351 
At the times when the above determinations were made, Jem was 
milked after 7 A. M. and about 5 P. M., no strict regularity being 
observed, so that the day interval between milkings was much less 
than the night interval, the former varying from 9 to 10 hours and 
the latter from 14 to 15 hours. Below are given results obtained 
from May 18--27 inclusive. Until the morning of May 22, she was 
milked as in the other experiments, but afterwards she was milked 
regularly at 6 A. M. and P. M., the intervals all being 12 hours. 
She was also kept in a darkened stable, with disturbing influences 
removed so far as possible. ‘These results show in a marked manner 
the effect of irregularity in milking, and may, perhaps, explain some 
of the apparent discrepancies in other determinations,
