DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 



517 



guinea-pigs and rabbits gave doubt- 

 ful results. They were found in 

 the deeper stratum of pseudo- 

 diphtheritic patches in calves. 



Bacillus in disease of bees (p. 

 471). 



Bacillus in erythema node-sum 

 (Demme). Rods 2'2 to 2*5 /x in 

 length, '5 to '1 p. in width. They 

 can be cultivated at 37C. 



Colonies on agar are white with 

 radiating lines. 



The bacilli inoculated in the depth 

 of agar grow in the track of the 

 needle, and produce peculiar off- 

 shoots in the surrounding jelly. 



They are said to produce an 

 eruption resembling erythema 

 nodosum when inoculated subcu- 

 taneously in guinea-pigs. 



They were obtained from the 

 eruption and the blood in cases of 

 erythema nodosum. 



Bacillus in fowl enteritis 

 (Klein), p. 230. 



Bacillus in gangrene (Tricomi). 

 Rods 3 ft in length, I p, in width, 

 singly and in pairs. 



Colonies circular, granular, dirty- 

 yellow. 



In the depth of gelatine they 

 produce a filament composed of 

 closely aggregated colonies, and at 

 the upper part conical liquefaction 

 of the jelly, beneath a cup- shaped 

 excavation. 



On agar and potato the growth 

 is white. 



In jectedsubcutaneously in rabbits 

 and guinea-pigs they produce gan- 

 grene and death in a few days. 



They were isolated from a case 

 of senile gangrene. 



Bacillus in grouse disease 

 (Klein), p. 230. 



Bacillus in hog cholera (p. 

 351). 



Bacillus in infantile diarrhoea 

 (Booker). Rods morphologically 

 identical with Bacillus coli com- 

 munis. There are seven varieties 

 of this bacillus. They were iso- 

 lated from cases of infantile diar- 

 rhoea. 



Bacillus in infantile diarrhoea 

 (Lesage). Rods 2 '4 p. in length, 

 '75 ft in width, and filaments. 



Colonies irregular ia contour, 

 colouring the gelatine green. 



On the surface of agar they form 

 a greenish growth, and the gelatine 

 is coloured green. 



Injected intravenously in a rabbit 

 they produced diarrhoea. 



They are said to be identical with 

 Bacillus fluorescens liquefaciens 



Bacillus in intestinal diph- 

 theria in rabbits (Ribbert). 

 Rods 3 to 4 ft in length, 1 to 14 ft 

 in width ; singly, in pairs, and in 

 filaments. 



Colonies greyish ; granular. 



They produce in gelatine a deli- 

 cate growth in the track of the 

 needle. They are pathogenic. 



They were isolated from the 

 intestine of rabbits suffering from 

 a diphtheritic inflammation of the 

 mucous membrane. 



Bacillus in jequirity infusion 

 (see Bacillus ofSatOer). 



Bacillus in'measles (p. 283). 



Bacillus in noma (Schimmel- 

 busch). Rods singly, in pairs, and 

 filaments. 



Colonies circular, greyish-white, 

 granular, with irregular margins. 



In the depth of gelatine they 

 produce a granular filament anda 

 patch on the surface. 



On agar and potato the growth 

 is greyish-white. 



They are pyogenic in rabbits. 



They were inoculated from a 

 case of noma. 



Bacillus in ophthalmia (p. 190). 



Bacillus in potato rot. Rods 

 2-5 to 4 /A in length, '7 to *8 ft in 

 width ; singly, in chains, and in fila- 

 ments. Spore-formation present. 



The bacilli inoculated in the 

 depth of gelatine produce a funnel- 

 shaped area of liquefaction. 



On agar the growth is composed 

 of greyish-white slimy colonies. 



They were isolated from diseased 

 potatoes. 



Bacillus in purpura haemor- 

 rhagica (Tizzoni ana Giovannini). 

 Rods -75 to 1-3 ^ in length, "2 to 

 4 ft in width, singly, in pairs, and 

 in masses. 



Colonies have a greyish-yellow 

 nucleus and a marginal zone of fine
