 The number of bacteria growing on gelatin is moderately high but no ob- jectionable types were found.
 The alkalinity and hardness give figures higher than the mineral solids but this is probably due to the presence of mineral salts which volatilize on heating and to considerable proportion of magnesium which calculated as cal cium carbonate gives figure below the true value.
 The results show no evidence of the presence of dangerous contamination at this time.
