VIBRIO SCHUYLKILIENSIS. 411 



spirillum is evident, for the reason that the latter pro- 

 duces cholera, while the vibrio Schuylkiliensis manifestly 

 does not.^ 



Note. — Since the late epidemic of cholera in Ham- 

 burg quite a number of curved or spiral organisms, 

 somewhat like the cholera spirillum, have been discov- 

 ered. For the descriptions of these the reader is re- 

 ferred to the current bacteriological literature.

 tal Medicine, vol. i. p. 419 ; also Transactions of the Association of American 

 Physicians, 1896, vol. xi. p. 394.
