from Denmark. After due allowance is made for possible modifications 
of this nature, however, it is apparent that in the Manchester, 
Yorkshire and Scotland areas, Danish butter is the staple type. 
~The geographical position of Birmingham appears to be reflected 
In the returns. It will be seen that though the majority of the shops 
were stocking Danish butter, a relatively large percentage also were 
stocking New Zealand and Australian. 
The figures for London, and for Bristol and South Wales 
demonstrate the comparative popularity of Empire, packeted and 
blended butters in the South. 
Second Survey.—The corresponding returns for the Second Survey 
reflect fairly closely the seasonal variation in supply. Danish remained 
much the same everywhere and the other foreign butters showed 
little significant change. Irish butter increased in most areas at the 
expense of New Zealand and Australian. :

A comparison of the results of the two Surveys is shown in Table 8. 
Between the two Surveys, the number of shops stocking Irish butter 
Almost doubled, the number stocking New Zealand dropped to 
four-fifths of the previous total, and the number stocking Australian 
to one-third. The resultant drop in the total numbers stocking 
New Zealand and Australian butters was somewhat greater than the 
increase in the numbers stocking Irish. The figures for farm butter 
and for bulk blended and packeted butters were almost i
