showed no special reaction. From 5 guinea pigs (No. 91-95) 

 inoculated on May 25tli with the new formation of testicle, one 

 died from malignant oedem, the other 4 guinea pigs showing 

 local suppuration and ulceration and a swelling of the plica 

 gland to pea-size. Under the microscope, the local pus exhibit- 

 ed various kinds of bacteria, but no trace of saccJiaroviyces. 

 The wound in all guinea pigs quickly healed. 



Hares were inoculated subcutaneously witli tlie content of 

 farcy; a big abscess appeared locally full of thick stinking pus, 

 in which saccJiaroviyces could be found for some time. No reac- 

 tion in rats, similarly inoculated. 



Three young pigs were inoculated on April 25th with farcy 

 tissue. There was only local suppuration ; saccliaroinyccs were 

 found in the pus until May 30th ; then they disappeared. 



An old strong stallion No. 11 was inoculated repeatedly 

 with morbid tissues and pus on different parts of the body, 

 subcutaneously or by repeated rubbing in the skin ; also in com- 

 bination with pure culture of streptococci and staphylococci 

 isolated from the content of farcy or first producing artificial 

 ulcers and then inoculating in them. All these trials were of 

 negative result.

 this horse was kept in an infested stable, where the first symp- 

 toms of farcy appeared at the root of his tail. Inoculation of 4 

 guinea pigs (No. 96-99) and hares was negative.
