Morphology. Cocci in twos or chains of 4-6 elements ; round-lenticular ; in 

 body with a capsule. Stain by Gram's method.

 macroscopically round, gray, in 4 days 1-2 mm. ; microscopically round, 

 entire, finely granular. 



Agar colonies. Deep colonies: microscopically round-lenticular, entire, 

 opaque, grayish black, coarsely punctate. Surface colonies: macroscopi- 

 cally like gelatin colonies ; microscopically round, entire, translucent, 

 finely punctate. 



Glycerin agar slant. A feeble growth, small grayish colonies.
