Among these irritants hementioned uterine catarrhal, lochial and menstrual discharges aspeculiarly likely to set up urethritis. In 1868 Salisbury found sporesin twos and fours in pus-cells, and in 1872 Hallier found a micro-coccus in gonorrhoeal pus. In 1879 Neisser described these micrococci and their method ofdivision and gave them the name gonococci. Watson Cheynediscovered the gonococci in the same year as Neisser, but did notpublish his discovery until 1880. In 1872 Emil Noeggerath, of NewYork, drew attention to latent gonorrhoea of the female to this, gonorrhoea in the female was regarded as a vaginitis. PLATE VII.
