Chorine (1929) isolated this organism from Canadian 

 larvae Of Pyrausta mibilalis . The organism, in its "bio- 

 logical characteristics, resembles Bacterium ontarioni , 

 though not in its morphological characters and in the 

 development of the colonies. The organism is a spore- 

 former, so it should have "been placed under the genus 

 Bacillus .

Serbinow (1915.) states that Bacterium coli apium and 

 Proteus alveicola were the cause of an infectious diar- 

 rhoea among honey "bees during the spring of the year. The 

 organisms were found to "be infectious to mice "by peritoneal 

 inoculation.

According to Patton (I93I), Wollman, working in Tunis, 

 placed nous ef lies in tubes containing cultures of Bacillus 

 aegyptius ( Bacterium conjunctivitidis ) and the Morax- 

 Axenfeld "bacillus (see Hemophilus duplex) of subacute con- 

 junctivitis, and observed that while they "became infective 

 immediately afterwards, they were not infective after an 

 interval of three and a half hours.
