![this sample was therefore labelled “ Marga.” Sample 5372 had been labelled by means of a rubber stamp ; it was indistinct, so that several of the letters could not be seen. Both vendors were specially cautioned by the Medical Officer of Health. All the samples had correct composition. The watei contents varied from 7-0 to 13*0 per cent, with an average of 11*7 per cent. Each sample contained boric preservai tive, but none contained more than 0*3 per cent calculatee as boric acid, thus bearing out the limit suggested oi page 130. Seven of the samples contained 0*1 per cent, twenty seven contained 0*2 per cent, whilst twenty-seven cor tained 0*3 per cent of the boric acid respectively. Six of the samples were free from coconut or pair kernel oils, but each of the other samples contained or or both of these oils in varying properties. The larges] amount found was 90 per cent of palm kernel oil in samp: 4867, the lowest was 11 per cent of coconut oil in samp 5246. During the past year a considerable amount of attor I tion has been given to the problem of differentiatir I between coconut and palm kernel oils in mixtures ; it I hoped that publication of much of this may take plaij during the present year. Cheese, Lard. Two hundred and thirty-nine samples of cheese ha been examined, and all have been passed as genuine, tl fat in each case being pure milk fat.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30067224_0134.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
