Examination by Phenol Broth-culture on 21.6.1893. 



The plate cultivations made from the above phenol broth tubes 

 gave the following results : 



Broth tube. 



(86A.) Typhoid-infected Unsterilised Thames, Flash 1 Incubator. 

 (Typhoid Absent,) 



The colonies were inoculated on to potatoes, on which a 

 light brown growth extending over the whole potato was 

 obtained. On inoculation into gelatine tubes liquefaction 

 followed, therefore certainly not typhoid. No bubbles of gas 

 appeared in the gelatine. 



(94.) Coli-infected Unsterilised Thames, Flaslc 2 Incubator. (B. 



coli Present.) 



The plate had the appearance of being a pure cultivation of 

 B. coli, with the characteristic colonies, yielding characteristic 

 growth on potatoes, also indol reaction, and gas bubbles on 

 inoculation into melted gelatine tubes. B. coli, therefore, 

 present. 



(95.) Coli-infected Unsterilised Thames, Flaslc 1 Refrigerator. (B. 



coli Present.) 



Exactly similar results were obtained with this as with 

 No. 94 above. B. coli, therefore, present.
