EXPERIMENTAL 



The culture of the B. colt used in the tests was recently obtained 

 from the stool of a chronic carrier of B. typhosus. On inoculation 

 into rabbits it proved pathogenic, but never induced the paralysis 

 characteristic of the Shiga bacillus inoculation of that animal. 

 The Shiga bacillus had been cultivated outside the body for a

 Particular and general agglutination tests with special B. coli and B. dysenterice 



long time; the original culture was obtained from Dr. Wads- 

 worth of the New York State Department of Health. It ful- 

 filled all the morphological and cultural requirements and upon 

 inoculation into rabbits induced the typical paralysis. The 

 two organisms had the property in common of tending to spon- 

 taneous agglutination.
