59. BACILLUS BRUNNEOFLAVUS. 
The nitrate is decidedly more strongly reduced, yet not com- 
pletely so. Otherwise as before. 
60. BACILLUS PROPINQUUS.* 
The characters are the same in general; but in the Fall all the 
gelatin tubes were found to be liquefied. On replanting no li- 
quefaction was obtained in 74 days when a spell of hot weather 
(26° C. in the laboratory) occurred. After it had passed, old 
gelatin tubes remained fluid, while young ones (21 days) hard- 
ened again. The cells are now very short, almost like cocci. 
62. BACILLUS DECOLORANS MAJOR. 
Rosalic acid decolorized in 13 days, but nitrate not reduced. 
Otherwise as before. 
65. BACILLUS TYPHI ABDOMINALIS. 
The culture marked (2) was lost. The one marked (3) re- 
mained constant in all its characters. The culture is not the 
true B. typhi abdominalis, as it is distinctly aerobic and grows 
dark brown on potato. (Compare the pseudo-typhoid germs 
found by Dr. Th. Smith, Am. Journ. Med. Sciences, Sept., 1895, 
culture no. 28.) 
68. BaAcILLUS INUTILIS. 
Growth characters unchanged, but the cells are decidedly 
shorter, not distinguishable from cocci. 
70. BAcILLUS ALPHA. 
Tl. BACILLUS BETA. 
The cultures are dead. 
76. BACILLUS GAMMA. 
Nearly dead. <A very poor slight growth persists, but is in- 
capable of liquefying gelatin or repeating its other former 
characters. 
78. BAcILLUS DELTA. 
The cultures are dead. 
81. Bactttus Hupsonit. 
82. BacILLUS OXYLATICUS. 
The characters are unchanged. 
83. BACILLUS EPSILON. 
_*T have inadvertently applied the name flavocoriaceus to two species (43 and 60), 
differing only in the power of reducing nitrate, No. 60 may be designated as above.
