In publishing the ])resent work, the writers do it more as a pre- 

 liminary report than as a finished product. We have had to feel our 

 wa.y rather blindly; many of the problems which have arisen have 

 been fundamental and progress has been necessarily slow but when our 

 more intensive investigations which we are now carrying on have been 

 completed, we hope to be able to ofifer more definite data concerning the 

 relation of bacterial fermentations to solvent action.
