— Numbers of articulated threads in all the prepara- 
tions like those of yesterday. 
April 1st. — Olive Bjorhaug. Spots six weeks old ; strong 
retrogression. A piece cut from a spot on the forearm, 
divided into two pieces, one teased out in fresh water, one 
in salt water ; the sudoriparous glands appear large and 
easily teased out; round cells amongst the windings of the 
canals, also here and there, between the bundles of connective 
tissue, many cells interwoven with strongly granulated pro- 
toplasma.” In both preparations, principally along the 
edges of the fragments of the teased-out sweat-ducts, a 
quantity of pale, round, angular and oblong molecules, 
with oscillating movements, were found. It cannot be posi- 
tively decided whether some of the more lengthy ones were 
really bacteria ; highly refractive, round, and oblong small 
bodies could be found in some few of the sweat-ducts ; kept 
in a moist chamber. Besides this a preparation in osmic 
acid was made of the blood oozing out from the cut surface 
of the spot. 
3rd. — In the blood preparation, which is almost dried up, 
numerous articulated threads were found. In the other two, 
along the edge of them, numerous large bacteria with lively 
movements, but no articulated threads. 
4th. — The blood preparation quite dried up. The two 
others like those of yesterday, although the bacteria were 
not in such lively movement. 
7th. — The preparation with water dried up ; the prepara- 
tion with salt water, connective tissue and cells unchanged. 
No bacteria to be discovered ; on the contrary, numerous 
highly refractive, small articulated threads were found, with 
from two to five articulations, immovable. 
I7th. — Christian Loluft. Obtained a preparation from a 
tubercle on the cheek by puncture, principally blood, with 
some greater or smaller tubercle cells ; unable to discover 
any free bacteria. 
1 8th. — The red blood-corpuscles a little shrivelled ; the 
cells, however, about normal, some of them a little dis- 
coloured. 
20th. — The cells extremely pale and somewhat shrivelled, 
and occasionally hydropic ; no bacteria to be seen in them ; 
the large pale brown cell-contents unchanged ; nothing more 
to be discovered than on the first day ; granules and doubt- 
ful rods. 
22nd. — Chains in many places, but the preparation not 
to be relied on, on account of water having penetrated in one 
place.
