Summary

1082 drip samples of fresh milk were taken at a creamery over a period of 3 years and tested for total solids by the current gravimetric method (British Standards Institution, 1963) and the hydrometric method with the fat in the liquid state (British Standards Institution, 1959). On average, the hydrometric method overestimated the total solids by 0·096. It is suggested that the formula which applied before 1 October 1957 is correct and should replace the present formula.
