made, the germ being first isolated on Sabonraud's medium. The 

 morphology of the bacterium was found to vary with the nature and 

 consistence of the medium, and also with the age of the culture. The 

 bacterium is'a potential aerobe, grows well at 37°, produces acid, ferments 

 strongly, but does not form indol. Its vitality is considerable. Experi- 

 ments showed that it was pathogenic to laboratory animals, but the 

 post-mortem appearances were not specially characteristic. In certain 

 features, such as its morphological aspect, the stickiness and viscidity of 

 its growth and its Gram-negativeness, it presents likeness to the bacillus 

 of Friedlander.
