perfectly dried up along the edge, so no water could pene- 
trate. 
S9th, 30th, 31st. — On account of other engagements the 
preparations were not examined. 
April 1st. — Nothing is seen in the blood preparation, 
which is mostly dried up ; fungus in both the others. 
The preparation without water, especially deserves atten- 
tion ; here right in the middle of it, with so especially well- 
preserved cells that they appear perfectly fresh, were found 
in four places large masses of fungus, of finely granulated 
appearance, from the edge of which there shoot out fine 
articulated threads, whose several joints measured 0*0006 — 
0*0007 mm. 
4th. — This preparation exactly like that of the 1st. The 
masses of fungus have not become larger ; a rather large 
brown one, which is broken on one side, remained un- 
changed in these three days. Its place was carefully noted 
in order to watch if any articulated threads should grow out 
of it. Along the edge of the glass cover, upon the dried up 
edge of the preparation, a brown fungus has shot out a rich 
network of threads with fructification, by division of the 
points. 
7th. — The fungus mass along the edge of and in the pre- 
paration is unchanged, the edges ^et free, and alcohol and 
ether added, which only, by repeatedly lifting the glass 
cover, penetrate the preparation ; by this the fungus mass 
was divided into lumps ; little by little, by the action of the 
ether, they took the same appearance as the brown ones, 
viz. the granules and rods were kneaded together into a 
shining wax-like mass. 
Hospital, Johannes Giil. — Two tubercles from the nose, 
taken out with entire epithelium. 
Preparation No. 1. — Scraped with a knife the mass of cells 
in the blood-serum which lies on the surface; obtained 
several doubtful bacteria with slow movements. 
Preparation No. 2. — With a glass tube, freshly blown, 
from an incision in the tubercle teased and sucked out small 
pieces of the cell mass ; considerable number of blood cor- 
puscles, also bacteria. 
Preparation No. 3. — In like manner; fewer blood-cor- 
puscles. 
Preparation No. 4. — Ditto, with as much water ; much 
more numerous bacteria, and here and there in the swollen 
cells rod-shaped bodies ; many brown ones in a lump, none 
floating. 
Preparation No. 5. — Preparation of blood collected in a
