if mannite had been included amongst the list. 
We do not 
pretend to have completed the work on this particular group, 
but Table III (a) gives the results we obtain up to date. 
As 
in the case of the lactose fermenters they are divided into 
series giving the date when the work was actually carried out.

* Only r4 showed non-lactose fermenters and in 26 none could be got. 
+ Only four of these showed any white colonies. 
+ Bacillus P. 
Considering the small amount of research we do not wish 
to draw conclusions from this. 
It is, however, necessary to 
point out one fact, namely, that, as far as one can ascertain, 
organism No. 12, 
subsequently called Bacillus P., is not 
particularly numerous amongst the members of this group.
