GENERAL REMARKS UPON THE ABOVE.
No sample could be considered really clean; all contained a certain amount of " dirt" in
suspension. "D" was distinctly dirty, as also was "E."
In no case was anything found indicating that the milk came from cows with diseased udders.
Though Streptococoi were found in all, they were not associated with pus cells or blood
corpuscles.
Bacteria indicative of the presence of manurial dust were present in all, most marked in " E,"
which contained the Bacillus Enteritidis Sporogones as well as the Bacillus Coli.
No Bacillus resembling the Tubercle Bacillus could be found in any of the samples.
The number of Bacteria present was in all cases below the average of samples promiscuously
collected. In samples "B" and "E" there were some organisms which liquified the gelatine so
rapidly that they could not be counted after the second day.
Doubtless, therefore, the numbers given were below the actual numbers present.
