In  the  6  per  cent,  urine  gelatine  which  melts  at  280  the  fraying 
is  not  as  clearly  marked  as  in  the  3-3  per  cent.  The  time  for  the 
examination  of  the  colonies  is  between  twenty  and  forty  hours. 
From  the  fortieth  hour,  the  frayed  character  becomes  obliterated 
and  makes  observation  difficult.  W.  S.  W.

of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia,  from 
which  the  following  extract  is  taken  :
