For the macroscopic method small test-tubes, the luniina of whichshould not exceed to cm., are used. The examination shouldbe made in series, and for this purpose the tubes may be arranged sideby side. The first tube should contain the bacterial emulsion second tube forty parts of the bacterial emulsion and one part of.

The third tube receives one jtart of normal serumand forty parts of the liacterial emulsion. Other tubes may be usedcontaining higher dilutions of the suspected serum. In the pres-ence of a positive reaction, the bacteria collect in minute Hocculi (ag-glutination) and finally fall to the bottom of the tube (precipitation).The reactif)n should be complete in from twelve to twenty-four Records.—In order to render comparable studies madeby different investigators, as w^ell as for comparison of the character-istics of different bacteria, it becomes necessary to select some definiteorder of study and a method by which accurate records may be
