246 BACTEEIOLOGY OF THE EYE 



The Pneumobacilli when grown were very pyogenic when tested on animals, as 

 the earlier experiments of Perles had shown.

3. Bacillus Subtilis on the Conjunctiva. 



(PLATE III., FlG. VI.) 



Bacilli of the Subtilis group are also found on the conjunctiva, 1 

 as, indeed, would have been expected from their wide distribution. 

 Shongolowicz, Puccioni, and Hirota first record their stray and casual 

 occurrence, and, if we reckon the B. mesentericus as a member of this 

 group, we must also include the reports of Bach, Franke, and Basso. 

 I have several times seen one or two Subtilis bacilli on the normal 

 and also on the catarrhal conjunctiva, but I cannot support Ulbrich's 

 contention that the spore-forming saprophytes i.e., the Subtilis 

 group are frequently met with in chronic catarrh. Kayser found 

 the Subtilis in a glutinous secretion from the conjunctiva in a case of 

 a splinter wound, though the bacilli could not be demonstrated in 

 the globe itself. Gourfein, and Michalski more emphatically, ascribes 

 the power of producing a conjunctivitis to many of the strains which 

 belong to this group. In a house epidemic of acute conjunctivitis, 

 which at first affected thirteen people, and later spread to fifty others,
