In a previous paper it was shown that of the empty milk churns which were examined, 56 per cent, were totally unfit for use, as they contained very large numbers of bacteria and lactose fermenting organisms in high proportion. Table I (1) is taken from this paper and gives the number of bacteria per 1 c.c. of washings with sterile saline solution. These churns were taken at random on a station platform, their origin being unknown.
