286 GLANDERS AND RHINOSCLEROMA. 



matter has been further complicated by the fact that a bacillus 

 possessing closely similar characters has been found to be very 

 frequently present in ozcena, and is often known as the bacillus 

 ozoence. The last-mentioned organism is said to have more active 

 fermentative powers. From what has been stated it will be 

 seen that a number of organisms, closely allied in their morpho- 

 logical characters, have been found in the nasal cavity in healthy 

 or diseased conditions. From what we know, however, of other 

 diseases, it is not improbable that though presenting these close 

 resemblances, they may be distinct species, and may cause 

 distinct pathological conditions in man. The subject is one on 

 which more light is still required.
