Abstract
1. The importance of a rapid and simple test for the diagnosis of mastitis in cows is a question which has attracted considerable attention on the part of many workers. One such test based on the determination of chlorine in milk by a rapid method has been advocated recently by Rosell. 2. The authors of this paper have made a careful examination of this method and compared the results obtained on samples of milk with those given by other methods known to yield reliable and reasonably accurate results. 3. The direct titration of chlorine in milk with silver nitrate solution, without the removal of proteins, invariably gives high results, and, moreover, a satisfactory end-point is difficult to obtain.
