In his first publication relating to the bacteria found BACTERIUM LACTUS AEROGENES. 53 in the dejecta of infants afflicted with summer diarrhoea,Booker has described a bacillus which he designates bythe letter b, which closely resembles bacillus lactisaerogenes and is probably identical with it. He says:—Summary of Bacillus eb.—Found nearly constantlyin cholera infantum and catarrhal enteritis, and generallythe predominating form. It appeared in larger quantitiesin the more serious cases. It was not found in the dysen-. Fig. 10.—Bacterium Lactis Aerogenes. teric or healthy faeces. It resembles the description of thebacillus lactis aerogenes, but the resemblance does notappear sufficient to constitute an identity, and, in the ab-sence of a culture of the latter for comparison, it is con-sidered a distinct variety for the following reasons: Bacil-lus b is uniformly larger, its ends are not so sharplyrounded, and in all culture-media long, thick filamentsare seen, and many of the bacilli have the protoplasmgathered in the centre, leaving the poles clear. There is 54 INFANT-FEEDING. some difference in their colony growth on gelatin, and ingelatin stick cultures bacillus b does not show the nail-form growth with marked end-swelling in the depth. Inpotato cultures the bacillus lactis aerogenes shows a differ-ence between old and new potatoes, while bacillus b d
