An analysis of tlie preceding table shows that in primary cultiva- 
tions the colour of the growth, with scarcely any exception, was 
white on the fourth day. Primary cultivations in Koch’s jelly 
•were invariably white in the form of “cocoons.” On the eighth 
day yellow and orange colour appeared in a certain proportion, but 
the prevailing colour was still white. After this the principal 
colours were white and yellow, only one cultivation being of an 
orange colour. We had thus three distinct growths, white, yellow
