Bacteriology. 



Anthrax is an infective disease that is transmitted by bacteria 

 known as the " bacillus anthracis." This^ bacillus may be easily 

 taken for the one producing putrefaction. For description and 

 modes of detecting this bacilli I would respectfully refer you to 

 the illustrated article written by Prof. V. A. Moore and pub- 

 lished in your report of 1898, page 549. 



Eespectfully submitted.
