EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 255 



MoUoyi: No real motion can be discerned; a slight Brownian motion 

 is perceptible. 



Stain ReacUon : Responds very readily to simple aniline stains. 



Spores: No spores could be detected. 



At the time of going to print I find that this bacillus has lost under 

 artificial culture a large part of its power to produce ropiness; it has also 

 decreased in vitality, and in rapidity of growth — it now grows slowly and 

 less exuberantly.
