Winton,  Ogden  and  Mitchell  find  that  the  albuminoids  vary  from 
5.88  per  cent,  to  7.06  per  cent. 
The  twelve  samples  are  remarkably  constant  in  Nitrogen,  which 
also  appears  in  the  majority  of  cases  to  be  somewhat  lower  than  the 
results  on  record. 
The  method  used  for  the  determination  of  the  Ether  Extract  was 
that  described  by  Richardson  in  the  U.  S.  Dept.  of  Agric,  Div.  of 
Chem.,  Bui.  13,  page  165.  By  this  method  the  total,  volatile  and 
non-volatile  extracts  are  obtained.

Moor  gives  a  total  ether  extract  of  2.51  per  cent.,  and  Winton, 
Ogden  and  Mitchell  give  a  volatile  extract  of  from  17.82  per  cent, 
to  20.53  Per  cent,  and  a  non-volatile  extract  of  from  6.24  per  cent, 
to  6.67  per  cent.  The  volatile  and  non-volatile  extracts  are  prac- 
tically the  same  as  those  obtained  by  Winton,  Ogden  and  Mitchell,
