Thebest growth is obtained on litmus-nutrose agar. Milk coagulates in four lactose becomes slightly red in forty-eight hours. On potatoes no gas formation. Anaerobic growth is good. Cultures kept moist retain theirvitality for a long time. Pathogenicity for mice is very considerable : 0*1 ofgrape-sugar bouillon killed a mouse in twelve hours, with serous effusions andenlargement of the spleen. In the blood and in the exudate capsulated Dvplococoiof varying size and cocci in short chains were found, but no lancet
