and swimming partly free in the fluid. In one part of one 
of the preparations there was a countless number of oscillat- 
ing rods, and one penicillium.” Two of the preparations 
without water did not fill the whole space under the glass 
cover ; in the water which had fallen in drops in the vacant 
space no trace was to be found of either bacteria or any- 
thing else. 
7th. — Kristian Lotuft. Vigorous tubercles which have 
steadily increased in the last year. One tubercle was 
removed and divided ; one half was immediately placed in 
1 per cent osmic acid, and preparations were made of the 
other, and the blood oozing out from the cut surface was 
collected in a small glass vessel. 
Preparation, No. 1. — Serum containing blood-corpuscles ; 
from this preparation a particle of the tubercle was teased 
out with needles, and examined under the microscope ; 
numerous oscillating rods and rod-like bodies were to be 
observed in some of the cells. 
Preparation No. 2. — Serum containing blood-corpuscles ; 
here and there a white body ; extremely few oscillating 
granulated masses. 
Preparation No. 3. — Serum with numerous blood-cor- 
puscles, and admixed epithelium from the edge of the 
cutting ; numerous bacteria. All these were kept in a moist 
granulated chamber. 
Preparation No. 4. — In a drop of distilled water pieces of 
the picked-out tubercle ; numerous bacteria ; immovable 
bacteria in the cells. The preparation was enclosed with 
oil along the edges of the glass cover. 
Preparation No. 5. — Serum containing blood-corpuscles, 
enclosed with oil as No. 4. 
Preparation No. 6, — Serum containing blood-corpuscles, 
•with pieces of the picked-out tubercle also enclosed with oil, 
and containing numerous bacteria. 
8th. — -Nothing to remark. 
9th. — No. 1. Leptothrix ; articulated threads abundant. 
No. 2 . Nothing. 
No. 3. Nothing. 
No. 4. An occasional articulated thread here and there. 
No. 5. Nothing. 
No. 6. Like No. 4. 
10th. — No. 1. Still more chains in large groups. 
Nos. 2 and 3. Nothing. 
Nos. 4, 5, and 6. Like those of yesterday.
