The Section of Bacteriologywas, as usual, the ijiost interesting, and here as else-where, the French delegates were very much to the Nocard announced that, colloborating with , he had identified the microbe of peripneumonia(cattle disease). The culture was obtained in envelopesof collodion which were subsequently introduced intothe peritoneum of animals. This microbe holds therecord as the smallest yet known; it is a mere speckeven under the most powerful microscope. Dr. Borrel, another of Dr. Rouxs fellow-workers, saidthat tetanus in rabbits, though proof against subcutane-.

The experiment is tobe repeated on larger animals with a view to test Itsadaptability to the human being. Dr. Calmette of the Lille Pasteur Institute, doubts thereal efficacy of cholesterine, tyrosine, bile, etc., againstsnake-bites, and illustrated (by actual experiments onrabbits, etc.), the results of his anti-venomous serum. Mr. Durham of Cambridge (England), read a paper onthe Micrococcus of Mediterranean Fever. Dr. Chantemesse (of Paris) gave some notes on hisresearches on anti-toxic serum of typhoid fever. on Tuberculosis. Dr. Behring. the well known German bacteriologist,was present, and mentioned that his new anti-tuberculousserum, obtained from birds, was superior to that hithertoproduced from horses and cattle; and would, he hoped,lead to a satisfactory result. He is already able to cure tuberculosis in cattle bytubercull
