300 GENERAL SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY 



Later (1920, p. 602) the following statement is made: 



Ce genre est actuellement le seul de la tribu, et il embrasse I'ancien groupe des 

 bacilles encapsules qui ont ete passes en revue par Fricke en 1896, Clairmone en 

 1902, Perkins en 1904, Abel et Kallwacks en 1912 et Fitzgerald en 1914. 



Les especes sont ordinairement des organismes courts, non mobiles, gram- 

 negatifs, encapsules, pleomorphiques, qui font fermenter le glucose et le lactose; 

 mais en ce qui concerne ce dernier sucre, ils peuvent produire seulement de I'aci- 

 dite quoique habituellement ils forment de I'acide et du gaz. 



Bergey et at. recognize this as the single genus of the tribe En- 

 capsulateae. 



Apparently Encapulatus must yield priority to Klebsiella q.v. for 

 both are based upon the same type species. 



Endobacterium. Lehmann and Neumann (1896, p. 103) in a dis- 

 cussion of Bacillus state: "Den uns besonders geeignet erscheinenden 

 Namen 'Endobacterium' unterdriicken wir, um nicht weitere neue 

 Namen zu beniitzen." 



Endostreptococcus. A name proposed by Hueppe (1885) for or- 

 ganisms having spherical cells in chains, producing endospores, zoogloea 

 not formed. Apparently this has never been coupled with a species 

 name, and is a "nomen nudu7n." 



Endostreptokokkus. A German variant of Endostreptococcus q.v. 

 used by Hueppe (1891, p. 33). 



Enterobrus. A genus of organisms described by Leidy (1849, p. 

 225) to include certain parasitic organisms found in the intestines of 

 milliped Julus and the beetle Passalus. Leidy regarded it as a genus 

 oi Confervaceae. The original description reads: 



Simple, attached, isolated filaments consisting of a long cylindrical cell (con- 

 taining protoplasm, granules, and large translucent globules enveloped in a pri- 

 mordial utricle) with a distinct coriaceous peduncle or stripe of attachment, and 

 at length producing at the free extremity one or two, rarely three, shorter cylindri- 

 cal cells, (filled with the same matter as the parent cell). 



The first species described was Enterobrus elegans from the intestine 

 of Julus marginatus . Later (1848, p. 249) he described Enterobrus 

 spiralis from Julus pusillus and Enterobrus attenuatus from Passalus 

 cornutus. 



Later Leidy published revised descriptions with drawings of these 

 various species (1851, p. 19-20). The revised description reads as 

 follows : 



Thallus attached, consisting of a single, very long, tubular cell, filled with 

 granules and globules, producing at its free extremity one, usually two, rarely
