It is not proved that the chlamydozoan is the cause of remarks that in the early stage of acute cases of trachomathe bodies are relatively few, not in any way bearing the relation in numl)ersto the case that is l)orne by pathogenic microorganisms in the acutestage of the conjunctival affections that they produce. Further studiesmust be made before the truth regarding the relation of this protozoan totrachoma is determined. It cann
