B. typhosus was no longer present in the pure honey after 24

10 hours. After 24 hours it had disappeared from the 30, 40, and 
50 per cent, dilutions ; after 48 and 72 hours it was no longer pres- 
ent in the 20 and 10 per cent, dilutions, respectively. The control

B. fecalis alkaligenes was even more sensitive to the killing 
action of the honey here than in the preceding series. After 5 
hours it had disappeared from all dilutions except the 10 per 
cent, and was absent from this after 10 hours. The pure honey 
was sterile riter 5 hours. The control was alive after 10 days.
