Abstract
THIS practical little book contains much useful information on routine bacteriological testing of milk samples. The section on sterilisation is admirable, though it is rather surprising that electrical apparatus, particularly for hot air sterilisation, is not mentioned. Media-making is an art in which precise details always vary according to the experience of the particular technician practising it. To the present reviewer, Mr. House's technique seems in several directions over-elaborate. To mention only one point: in filling media into test tubes, pouring through a small funnel is simpler than the use of a previously sterilised syphon apparatus.
