Abstract
IN reviewing the first edition of this book in NATURE, 138, 625 (1936), attention was directed to the rather large number of errors and inaccuracies in what should have been an indispensable and infallible weapon in the hands of the dairy technologist. So far as can be discovered, a few of these errors have been corrected in the new edition, but many remain. In addition to those cited in the NATURE review-and in others-may be mentioned a misquotation of Baumann and Steenbock (p. 490, last line but four), who found a 200 per cent variation in the vitamin A content of butter-not a 100 per cent variation, as stated by Dr. Davies.
