minutes. With more or less similar conditions the same coccus, if any, 

 appeared. Two sets of cocci from the bovine bacillus were shown. Those 

 from the spores heated to 105° (ten in number) were white and grew at 

 'M* ; those from the steamed spores were orange, and did not grow at 

 37°, but scarcely about 20°. The cocci from the tubercle bacilli, appeared 

 on the agar in from two to four days, while those from the anthrax took 

 from seven to ten days, and the pink coccus mentioned above five weeks 

 (one week being at 37°, and the heating solution 5 p.c. metaphosphoric 

 acid). Coccobacilli, diplobacilli, and anthracoids were also got from 

 this tubercle, as from most of the other spores, and a yeast and torula 

 apiece from the human and bovine bacilli. The anthracoid from the 

 human bacillus was remarkable for the extremely waved almost spiro- 

 chetal appearance of its filaments by the third day, spore-formation 

 having been arrested.
