Dr. White is the scientist who has the credit of at last placing the de- scription of the two diseases named foulbrood on a positive scientific ba- sis. He isolated "bacillus larvae" and cultivated it so as to prove that the same disease could be reproduced by its spores. He did similar work on "bacillus ; These two dis- eases are popularly named "American foulbrood" 'and "European foul- ; Dr. White now gives us a similar basis in regard to what has been called "pickled brood," under the name selected by him of "; He gave this name because in that disease the body wall of the larva which has died of the disease tough- ens, permitting the easy removal oi the remains intact from the cell, as in a sack. Dr. White avers that the name "pickled brood" is incorrect in speaking of this disease. The brood that dies of sacbrood, with but few exceptions, dies in capped cells, when the larva is stretched in the cell, preceding the change to pupa. It turns slightly yel- low, which in a few days changes to brown. If the dead larva is not re- moved, its surface becomes wrinkled by evaporation and it finally forms a scale. This is never at any time ad- herent to the cell wall. In the first stages of the disease, if larva; are crushed, suspended in syrup and fed to healthy bees, a large amoimt of the sacbrood i
