102 GENERAL SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY 



CCC. Slender rods with oval endospores, usually Gram-negative. 



D. Clot milk and attack various sugars, produce much acid. 

 Genus 5. Henrillus nov. gen. Type 

 species terlius (Bacillus tertius Henry) 

 as described by Henry. 

 DD. Do not clot milk, attack few or no sugars, produce little acid. 

 Genus 6. Flemingillus nov. gen. Type 

 species cochlearius [Bacillus coch- 

 learius Douglas, Fleming and Cole- 

 brook) as described by the Committee 

 (p. 40). 

 CCCC. Gram-positive rods which are not markedly slender and which 

 produce oval spores. 

 D. Clot milk, saccharolytic. 



E. Sporulate meagerly, attack a few sugars; occasionally 

 moderately pathogenic tissue invaders. 



Genus 7. Vallorillus, nov. gen. Type 

 species fallax {Bacillus fallax Wein- 

 berg and Seguin) as described by the 

 Committee (p. 27). 

 EE. Sporulate readily, attack several sugars; not known to 

 be pathogenic. 



Genus 8. Multifermentans nov. gen. 

 Type species tenalhus [Bacillus multi- 

 fermentans tenalhus Stoddard) as de- 

 scribed by Stoddard (1919b). 

 DD. Do not clot milk. Large Gram-positive rods with long 

 ellipsoid spores.. .Genus 9. Hiblerillus nov. gen. Type 

 species sextus (bacillus VI of von 

 Hibler) as described by von Hibler 

 (1908). (Resume by Weinberg and 

 Seguin (p. 202). 

 BB. Liquefy gelatin. 



C. Produce stormy fermentation of milk and sporulate on alkaline 



media only Genus 10. Welchillus nov. gen. Type 



species aerogenes [Bacillus aerogenes 

 capsulatus Welch and Nuttall), type 1 

 as defined by Simonds (1915 a and b). 

 CC. Do not produce stormy fermentation of milk. 



D. Do not sporulate.. .Genus 11. Stoddardillus nov. gen. 

 Type species egens [Bacillus egens 

 Stoddard) as described by Stoddard 

 (1919a). 

 DD. Sporulate readily. 



E. Gram-positive, form woolly colonies in deep agar. 

 Typically highly pathogenic tissue invaders of many 

 species of animals. 



Genus 12. Rivoltillus nov. gen. Type 

 species vibrion (the vibrion septique of 

 Pasteur) as defined in a future paper.
