When the milk cultures were considered individually, it was found 
that with the exception of two which clearly came from feces they could 
be included in one or the other of the two groups into which the udder 
cultures were divided. 
Of the 41 nonliquefying udder cultures 24 gave identical reactions. 
The remaining cultures differed from the type in one or two characters 
only.
