Bacillus plitton it was soon found, from a study of the condition, to be the same dis- ease that had been studied by the English workers and considered by them to be "; There was no further need, therefore, for the name "blackbrood," and it was dropped. The name "stinking foulbrood" has been used in some countries for the disorder in which Bacillus alvei oc- curs in large numbers, and "sour brood" for ithe one in which Strepto- coccus apis is present in considerable numbers.

For at least 40 years beekeepers have recognized two kinds of foulbrood—one in which most of the larvae die in uncapped cells and the other in which most of them die in capped ones. It is now positively known that these, instead of being two forms of one disease, are, in fact, two very different diseases. In this country they are being called Euro- • The name "stinking foulbrood" for Euro- pean foulbrood must seem to the beekeeper of America to be somewhat misleading, since it is American foulbrood that is the foul smelling disease. The origin of the name is briefly this: From the work in England, Bacillus alvci was thought to be the cause of a brood disease having a foul odor. When, therefore. Bacillus alvei was encountered in a urood disease by investigators on the continent of Europe the disease was naturally supposed by them to be one with a foul odor and was referred to by the name "stinking ; This name was used for the disease, to distinguish it from another one which did not contain Bacillus alvei, and the samples of which were without any mar
