in the three inoculated flasks of each series. It will be seen that in most 
cases the amounts in the inoculated flasks averaged very nearly the same 
as that present in the controls. It must be remembered also that al¬ 
though the solution originally was of a uniform concentration and that 
150 cc. were placed in each flask, yet the weight of the contents of the 
flasks varied slightly, because of the difficulty of measuring accurately 
with a graduate, which accounts for the difference in the total sugar 
present.

TOTAL, AMOUNT OE GLUCOSE REDUCED 
The amount of glucose present in the solutions both at the beginning 
and at the end of the experiments having been determined, the differ¬ 
ences between these two or the amount reduced by the fungi were cal¬ 
culated and are shown in Table IV. An examination of this table
