In a preliminary report (Hewlett, Villar and Revis, 1909, p. 278) published last year a summary of conclusions at which we had arrived with regard to the nature of the cellular elements present in milk was set forth. These conclusions were formulated on results obtained during a prolonged quantitative and qualitative examination of these cellular elements in milks obtained from known sources under veterinary supervision, and possess, we believe, a chronological significance which, with the exception of results published by Russell and Hoffmann (1907), has been somewhat lacking in many investigations. For this purpose we selected four dairy farms at which milk was being produced for sale on ordinary commercial lines, but under various conditions of environment, both architectural and sanitary. Together with these we were also enabled, through the kindness of Professor Percival, to make use of cows in the experimental herd of the University College of Reading.
