[Both Figures from the Author's '• Foul ;] which was sealed never hatched, and was found to be dead and shriveled, without becoming rotten. The season was a poor one, little honey coming in, the bees seemed discouraged, uneasy, and often the dead white larvae would be carried out; on examining the combs the dying larvas were noticed to be wriggling out of the cells, some were only half way out, but fell out while under observation. The larvEO when dead have a swollen appearance, neither end touching the sides of the cell is a common position (Fig. 5, a). In some cases, when left 5 or 6 days, the brood settles down like "foul brood" (Fig. 5, b), and changes to a dark- brownish mass ; which, on examination, is found to be watery, and not " ropy " like " foul brood ;" entirely void of the offen- sive odor, in fact no odor at all. A microscopical investigation showed, in addition to Penicillium glaueum (Fig. 1, d), other molds in the pollen and on the combs ; from these and the dead brood was isolated as the cause of the trouble a species of aspergillus, a white fun- gus, or mold. Several experiments were made during the summer, which fully satisfied me that my conclusions were correct. This suggested to my mind, that, perhaps, this was the kind of "foul brood," of which so many had written; the kind which had been treated by the starvation method, the drug method {'/), and the kind which always disappears as soon as fresh pollen comes in ; and possibly the kind men- tioned by Mr. N. W. McLain (Author's " Foul Brood," page.
