Five spore-bearing bacilli are described. The spores 

 are green. In one filamentous-septate species the spores 

 generally occur in pairs, with a septum between, i. e. .the 

 spore is situated, if one may so speak, in the positive 

 pole of one segment, and in the negative pole of its fel- 

 low.

The author summarizes his method as follows : " The 

 air-dried cover glass preparation is passed through the 

 flame three times and put into absolute alcohol for two 

 minutes ; then two minutes in chloroform ; then washed 

 with water one-half to two minutes It is subsequently 

 plunged into 5 per cent chromic acid and again thor- 

 oughly washed in water, after which carbol-fuchsiu is 

 dropped upon it and warmed over the flame to boiling 

 for 60 seconds. The carbol-fuchsiu is then poured off, the 

 cover -glass plunged into 5 percent sulphuric acid until 

 it is bleached, and then thoroughly washed in water. 

 The watery solution of methylen blue or malachite green 

 is then allowed to act upon it for 30 seconds, after which 

 it is washed off. The spores should then be visible as a 

 dark red in a beautiful green or blue bacterial body." 



('91). CRAMER, E. Die Ursache der Resistenz der 

 Sporen gegen trockene Hitze. Arch. f. 

 Hygiene, 1891, Bd. xm, pp. 71-112. 



Resistance is due to extreme dryness of the spores, and 

 to the f.ict that all their water is hygroscopic water, 

 which evaporates quickly in dry air, leaving presumably 

 pure water-free albumen.

Does not find Moeller's chromic acid method universally 

 applicable. Author some-times substitutes chloriodid 

 zinc. He has also found hydrogen peroxide very useful. 

 He also uses auiliu water fuchsiu. A pure, colorless, 

 toluidin free anilin may be had from Joh. Wolff, in Bres- 

 lau. In case ot anthrax spores, the proper time of expos- 

 ure is i}: 2 minutes with chromic acid; 2tO2, 1 .j minutes 

 with concentrated chlorzinc iodide solution, and 3 min- 

 utes with hydrogen peroxide. Here also the author says 

 he obtained the best results with H2O2.

 Sporenfarbung. Centralb. f. Bakt., xiv, 1893,

Cover-glass preparations are plunged 3 to 15 minutes 

 (mostly 3 to .s minutes) into steaming hot water contain- 

 ing 10 per cent ammonia water, to which has also been 

 added 10 to 20 dropsof some alcoholic aiiilin solution. 

 Covers thus treated are then plunged for a moment into 

 water containing 20 per cent sulphuric or nitric acid, and 

 are subsequently exposed to a contrast stain The stains 

 recommended are gentian violet, fuchsin, methylene 

 blue and safrauin ; the contrast stains are vesuviu, chry- 

 soidin, metliylene blue, malachit green or safrauin. The 

 preparations are said to be clear and satisfactory.
