the 40 per cent. There was a very marked reduction in the num- 
ber of bacteria in the 30 per cent, on the fifth day and all were 
dead on the sixth. The culture remained alive in the 10 per cent, 
and 20 per cent, for 25 days, at which time the platings were dis- 
continued. The control culture in salt solution was still alive 
after 40 days.

Bacillus suipesHfer survived all concentrations for 24 hours, 
but the number of bacteria was greatly reduced in the 60, 70, 80, 
and 90 per cent, in 48 hours ; the culture was dead in the pure 
honey on -the fourth day. On the third day all dilutions were 
dead above 40 per cent. ; by the eighth day, the 10 per cent, and 
the control alone gave growth, the former showing a great reduc- 
tion in numbers on the 10 th day and complete disappearance on 
the eleventh. The control was still alive after 40 days.
