and Chalmers (Man. Trop. Med., 3rd ed., 

 1919, 941). The organism described by 

 Tr^trop clearly was not the same as that 

 in the culture sent by Binot of the Pas- 

 teur Institute to MacConkey and de- 

 scribed by him {loc. cit.) as a member of 

 the coliform group. Because of Mac- 

 C!onkey's studies, the Binot culture has 

 been accepted as determining the nature 

 of Bacillus coscoroba in many subsequent 

 studies of the coliform group, e. g., Bergey 

 and Deehan, Jour. Med. Res., 19, 1908, 

 182; Levine, Amer. Jour. Pub. Health, 

 7, 1917, 785; Winslow, Kligler and Roth- 

 berg, Jour. Bact., 4, 1919, 485; Bergey 

 et al.. Manual, 1st ed., 1923, 204; etc.
