— i^No blocking of haemolysis. 

 tr = trace of blocking of haemolysis, 

 sit = slight blocking of hcemolysis. 

 -f = partial blocking of hopmolysis. 



+ -f- :=: nearly complete blocking of hajmo- 

 lysis. 

 -j- + + = complete blocking of haemolysis. 



Excepting Nos. 10, 11, 32 and 33, there is fair correspondence be- 

 tween the degree of fixation of eaeli scrum with the two tuberculins. 



The skin test was always made with both tuberculins and the bovine 

 variety usually gave the stronger reaction, Avhile the human seemed to 

 giro as marked fixation of complement as did the bovine.
