400 Presents. [Dec. 15 r 



The main point was definitely established, however, and the treat- 

 ment of the plates proves conclusively that the spores are not killed 

 by high or low temperatures, but by the direct solar rays. 



These experiments are being continued in order to answer some 

 other questions in this connexion. 



The gelatine and agar after such exposures as have been described 

 are still capable of supporting a growth of B. anthracis if fresh spores 

 are sown on them, whence the effects described are not merely due to 

 the sub-strata being spoilt as food material. 



The Society adjourned over the Christmas Recess to Thursday, 

 January 19, 1893.
