CLASSIFICATION OF THE BACTERIA. 77 



the intestine of silkworms sick with " la flach- 

 crie " (Pebrine). 



In a more recent work, Colin (Beitrage, 1875, 

 p. 201) gives them an oval form and a diameter 

 of 0.5 [M at the outside. 



We omit in the present edition the various pathogenic 

 Micrococci described by Hallier, and introduce in place of 

 them several species (?) which have been studied by more 

 recent authors, and which seem to be better established. 



(G. M. S.) 



M. of erysipelas, Fehleisen. 



Ver}' minute (smaller than the micrococci of vaccinia) , 

 found in zoogloea masses in the lymphatics of the skin at 

 the margin of the zone of redness in extending erysipela- 

 tous inflammation. 



M. of pneumonia (?), Friedlander. 



Large oval micrococci, surrounded by a transparent 

 capsule, 1 n in length, in pairs, short chains or zooglcea 

 masses, in the sputum of croupous pneumonia during the 

 early stages of the disease. 



M. of induced septicaemia in rabbits, Sternberg. 



Oval micrococci, surrounded by a transparent aureole of 

 mucus ( ?) material, about 1 fi in length, and found solitarj', 

 in pairs, and in short chains, in the blood and sub-cutane- 

 ous oxlema of rabbits killed by the sub-cutaneous injection 

 of normal human saliva. 



M. of fowl cholera, Pasteur. 



Micrococci, 0.5 /A in diameter, mostl}' in pairs (figure 8) 

 in the blood and tissues of fowls affected with fowl 

 cholera.
