that of A. Lorrain Smith's British Lichens. The list contains the names of about 125 species

 Jour. Bact. 4: 429-503. 1919. — The authors review rather completely the literature of the 

 colon-typhoid group and arrange the whole series into six groups based mainly upon their 

 fermentation of various carbohydrates. Several cultures are studied and classified. Seven- 

 teen species are included in the entire six groups and characteristics of each species given. 

 The commonly called B. paratyphosus A is designated as B. paratyphosus and B. paratyphosus 

 B. as B. sckottmulleri, a new name; the name B. morgani is given to the formerly-called Morgan 

 bacillus. — Chester A. Darling.
