It will be seen that in all 113 experiments were made ; of these 95 

 were at temperatures above 100 C. and 18 below. 



Out of the 95, 14 cases occurred in which some growth took place 

 after incubation. In 12 cases out of the 14 the growth was con- 

 taminated. 



Out of the 18 experiments below 100 C., growth occurred in 5 cases, 

 in only 1 of which (viz., in Experiment 109) was a pure Anthrax 

 developed. 



Whether Anthrax was really present in any of the contaminated 

 growths is somewhat doubtful. All that can be said is that in 3 cases

Booking at the experiments as a whole, and considering that ten
