734 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



nothing to do with this group of organisms. Baur describes his own 

 experience in cultivating them in the laboratory. He found several 

 forms already described, and a new species, Myxococcus ruber, of which 

 he followed the development through all the different stages. He 

 describes his methods of culture, and describes the most successful media 

 on which to make the cultivations. He considers the Myxobacteria 

 ought to be placed under the Schizophytes, and that they are near akin 

 to the Acrasiese.
