A high compliance of nursing home residents with a low volume, nutrient- and energy dense ONS was related to a significantly improved nutritional status in comparison to low compliance and therefore enhanced the effectiveness of ONS. A higher compliance may be achieved by consideration of different residents' characteristics.

Comparatively few reports on the types of the coliform group present in milk have been published and in most instances the species have not been determined. It is diBcult to compare earlier work with more recent investigations because of differences in classifications employed. Earlier work is summarized by Yale (1933). This investigator isolated 63 per cent EsclzeAchia, 26 per cent Aerobacter, and 11 per cent intermediates from raw milk and 57, 10, and 33 per cent respectively from pasteurized milk. Ten species of Escherichia and three of Aerobacter were isolated by Pale, who found Escherichia COG, Eschwichia pseudocoloides, and Escherichia commzcnior, in this order, the most prevalent in the first genus, and Aerobacter aerogenes and Aerobacter cloame most frequent in the latter. The results of more recent investigations will be included in the discussion. EXPERINENTAL WORKThe organisms identified in this report were isolated by inoculating 275 samples of raw milk in groups of 50 samples into a total of 12 media; 25 samples of raw milk into 10 media; and 31 samples of raw milk, 34 samples of pasteurized milk, and 25 samples of "certified" milk into five media as discussed in a previous paper, Bartram and Black (1936). The cultures were identified as Escher'ichiia, Aerobacter, or intermediate according to their reaction on Methyl Red-Voges Proskauer medium, Simmon's citrate agar, and the indol reaction. The species in the Esclterichiu-Aerobacter genera were classified in accordance with the descriptions given in Bergey 's Manual (1934). The species of the intermediate o r Citrobactw genus were identified according to the classification of Werkman and Gillem (1932).The technique and media employed in physiological tests were those recommended by the Committee on Bacteriological Technic of Approved for publieation by the Director of the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station.'
