:tently Gram-positive, whereas B. 1nallei is easily decolourized by this method. With regard to the inoculation experiments:It is greatly to be regretted that a mule could not be obtained for this purpose, as the disease has so far been confined to those .animals, and horses, although exposed to infection, and using the same stables, have escaped infection with the disease. The recovery of the organism from the testicle of guineapi g Y, and the fact that they were affected, as were the epididymi, perhaps points to an organism allied to B. mallei. The death of the animal on the eighth day, however , and the death of the horse on the eleventh day, do not correspond with the usual result s of inoculation with B. mallei. Finally, I think from a consideration of the above data, we ~may conclude that althoug h the bacillus isolated is not B. mallei, it may be regarded as belon ging to a closely allied group.
