the tubercle bacillus. Cultivations were unsuccessful, but inoculations 

 on rabbits and guinea-pigs produced a tuberculosis chiefly local in 

 character, with tendency to resolution and of a low degree of intensity. 

 The author considers that this variety should be placed between the 

 paratuberculous bacillus and the bacillus of avian tuberculosis. 



New Photobacterium.* — T. Imamura cultivated from a species of 

 Pleuronectus an oval flagellate Photobacterium, which was easily 

 stainable, but not by Gram's method. It grew on all ordinary media, 

 but best on egg albumen moistened with saturated salt solution, or upon 

 10 p.c. gelatin with 3 p.c. salt. The light developed appeared to be 

 dependent on the amount of salt, but indifferent to the presence or 

 absence of oxygen. The colonies could be photographed by their own 

 light, which was also sufficient for observing the individual bacterial 

 cells under the Microscope.
