As regards the varieties of streptococci classified according 
to their fermentative reaction we have again to quote Dr. 
Houston’s work. Table No. IV (0) gives the result of Hous- 
ton’s researches on human feces and cowdung, and our own 
placed side by side. It will be observed that part of Houston’s 
work on human feces was carried out in 1903-04 and part 
in 1908. The great difference between these series of results 
should be carefully noted, because they themselves bear out 
our contention that there is constant variation in the flora 
of feces generally. 
From a comparison between the four columns it will be 
found that as far as these figures can be trusted, very great 
difference exists between the kinds of fecal streptococci in 
the two countries. The Indian streptococci seem to be 
mostly of one class with very few exceptions. Still no less.
