BACTERIA 



termo, Miiller. Palmella infusiotium , Ehrenberg. 

 Long considered the most characteristic microbe of 

 filth and putrefaction ; but shown by Hauser to be a

 Yignal's species, while Bacillus termo may perhaps be 

 reserved for the flagellate forms studied by Dallinger 

 and Drysdale, or discarded entirely. Bacterium 

 termo, Vignal. Found in the saliva of healthy per- 

 sons, aer. , liqf., mot., chg. (yellowish gray), npg.
