196 BACTERIOLOGY. 



Fresh inoculations in mice again produced a fatal 

 result with pysemic symptoms. 



Micrococcus of swine-fever, Pasteur. 

 Cocci, diplococci, chains, and zooglcea have been 

 described as present in the blood in " rouget du 

 pore" The microbe has no effect upon fowls, but 

 kills rabbits and sheep. Inoculated into healthy 

 pigs it gives rise to the disease, and occasions a 

 fatal result. Inoculation with weakened virus 

 protects against virulent matter. 



Micrococcus of septicaemia consecutive 

 to anthrax, Charvin. In rabbits, some hours 

 after death from anthrax, micrococci have been 

 found in the kidney and elsewhere. Inoculated 

 into rabbits fatal septicaemia is produced without 

 the presence of suppuration. 



Micrococcus toxicatus, Burrill. Globular cells, 

 5 p. in diam., singly, in pairs, and rarely in chains. 

 They occur in species Q{ Rhus (Sumach}, and have 

 been credited with being the cause of the inflamma- 

 tion which is produced by the poison of the plant. 



Micrococcus insectorum, Burrill. Obtusely 

 oval cells, 7 i \L long and '55 p. broad, singly, 

 in pairs, chains, or zoogloea. They were detected 

 in the digestive organs of the chinck-bug (Blissus 

 leucopterus) when suffering from a certain contagious 

 disease. 



Micrococcus amylivorus, Burrill. Oval cells, 

 i 1*4 p, long, *7 n broad, singly, in pairs, and 

 rarely in fours, never in chains, are found em-
