Because of the peculiar salmon or yellowish-pink color of 
the pigment produced by the organism described in this paper, 
and because, although it is evidently closely allied to some of 
the pink micrococci previously described, it is not identical 
with any of them, I suggest for it the name Micrococcus roseus 
flavus. 
In conclusion, I wish to express my sincere thanks to Pro- 
fessor Edwin O. Jordan for many valuable criticisms and sug: 
gestions during the progress of this work.
