Remove the cotton plug of tube 2, and place it between the adjoin- ing index and middle fingers. Then remove the cotton plug of tube 1, and place it between the ring and little finger. Touch the flame of a burner to the necks of the tubes, in order to burn off any loose cotton. Now, with a sterilized, cooled platinum wire, the end of which is provided with a small loop, transfer a loopful of gelatin from tube 1 to tube 2, and mix well. Return the same platinum wire to tube 1, and again transfer a loopful of gelatin to tube 2. Repeat this once more, so that all told, three transfers of inocu- lated gelatin have been made. Replace the cotton plugs in their respective tubes, sterilize the platinum wire and set the tubes in a tumbler, the bottom of which is covered with a layer of Fig. 30. Inoculation from tube to tube when diluting. Mark another liquefied gelatin tube, 3. Then place 2 in the position in which No. 1 was just held, and next to it place tube 3. Remove the cotton plugs, place in their re- spective positions, and flame the necks of the tubes as.
