 d. k. Thierarzneischule in Miinchen, 1882-1884, p. 62, Leipzig, 1885. This 

 excellent work contains an exact account firstly of the form of the Micro- 

 coccus and its behaviour in cultures, and secondly of experimental investiga- 

 tions into infection and the phenomena of the disease which follows upon the 

 infection. Though it confirms Pasteur's statements in some points, it tends 

 at the same time to throw doubt on others, by making it highly probable 

 that Pasteur did not work with pure material, free from other Bacteria. It 

 makes no mention of the state of stupor. When the animals, especially 

 fowls, succumbed to the disease, death usually occurred in twenty-four 

 hours and suddenly. It is possible that Pasteur examined one infectious 

 disease and Kitt another; after the latter's thoroughly trustworthy repre- 

 sentations, Pasteur's statements certainly require critical examination. If 

 on the whole I have left them for the present in the text, I have done it 

 with this reservation, and especially on account of their importance for the 

 development of the doctrine of contagia viva, which importance they retain 

 even if they prove not to be entirely correct.
