The long filaments seemed, in fact, to be only developed forms of the shorter rod-like bodies. Experiment 3. A closed flask containing an infusion of turnip1, was opened seventeen days after it had been hermetically sealed. The fluid never exhibited any distinct turbidity, and no pellicle formed on the surface; there was, however, an irregular covering of the bottom of the flask by fine granular matter, with here and there a small patch of filamentous-looking substance. No bad odour was perceived when the flask was opened. 1 See note 2, p.
