Pseudomonas calcis (Drew) n. comb. 



Bacterium calcis Drew, Carnegie Inst. Pub. No. 184, p. 26. 1914. 



An actively motile organism, 1.1m by 1.5 to 3m, bearing a single flagel- 



lum (see Fig. 1). Sometimes forms long threads. Grows best in media 



containing three per cent, sodium chloride or in sea water containing 



pepton and nitrate, but is quickly killed by stronger solutions of sodium 



chloride. Grows weakly in 

 r\^ r>v three per cent, salt pepton 



' ' ^ ' broth, forming neither nitrites 



nor ammonia. Grows luxuri- 

 antly in three per cent, salt 

 pepton broth containing two- 

 tenths per cent, nitrate, form-

grams, together with 5 grams 

 of either calcium malate, calcium succinate, or calcium acetate, nitrites 

 are formed in forty-eight hours to six days. Ammonia is formed in four 

 days in the medium containing calcium malate. Only traces of ammonia, 

 within the limits of experimental error, in media containing calcium 

 succinate or calcium acetate. The addition of a small quantity of pep- 

 ton to any of these media stimulates luxuriant growth and rapid pro- 

 duction of both nitrite and ammonia.

The Fox citations in this paper are either from Dr. Jones' Fox 

 Texts (by page and line) or from the present writer's texts, 

 unless the contrary is explicitly stated. The author's texts were 

 collected in the current syllabary, being written out by various 

 informants. The citations from these have been restored according 

 to the phonetic scheme of Dr. Jones, though this is not to be 

 considered as altogether satisfactory. The numerals within the 

 brackets all refer to sections of the Algonquian sketch in Part 

 1 of the Handbook of American Indian Languages. 



These notes are assembled here in the belief that they will be 

 of value to future investigators of Algonquian languages and that 

 a more accurate and complete linguistic classification of Algon-
