the remainder, which was intended for microscopical 
examination, was found to contain the structures represented 
in fig. 1.) 
Ries 
1. Transparent masses of various sizes, containing granules, 
some of which are small, pale, and indistinct, others 
large and shining. 
2. Transparent spheroid bodies arranged in small groups 
composed of couples or necklace-like chains ; each is 
bordered by a sharp line as if consisting of transparent 
contents enclosed by a membrane. 
3. Highly refractive micrococci grouped so as to form 
dumb-bells or sarcinze or small colonies. 
. Groups of decolorized blood-corpuscles, with micrococci 
occupying the interstices between them. 
. Bacteria, of which the smaller ones correspond to Bact. 
termo of Cohn. 
. Colonies of Bacterium termo. 
. Micrococci mostly in couples or in small groups. Each 
spheroid is surrounded by a greenish envelope, or in 
some cases by what appears to be a thin membrane; 
the couples, in consequence of their being united by a 
transparent connecting substance, resemble rods with 
terminal swellings ; these bodies are about twice the 
size of the micrococci referred to above. 
8. Groups consisting of spheroids of two kinds, the larger 
corresponding with (2), the smaller with (3) ; on care- 
ful examination it is found that between the two kinds 
of bodies there are transitional forms, of which the 
characters are intermediate both as regards size and
