GENERAL REMARKS UPON THE ABOVE.
All the above contain an excessive number of bacteria and bacteria of manurial origin.
"K" and "L" especially the latter, are worst in this respect.
"L" and "N" contain most "dirt" but again "L" was the worse.
No organism resembling the tubercle bacilli was found in any. None contained any number
of Streptococci.
