Bact. formosum. Six cultures produced pigment. Twelve cul- 

 tures not identified to type, evidently belong to a large group of 

 water and soil bacteria which have not been adequately studied. 

 The bacteria isolated from decomposing salmon were found 

 to be those which are described in the literature as water, sewage 

 and soil organisms.
