1. The in vitro properties of 214 strains of Proteus organisms isolated from dogs, cats, cattle, pigs, birds and other domestic and captive wild animals were examined.

2. The majority of strains were P. mirabilis, 23% being P. vulgaris and 4·7% P. morganii.

3. P. vulgaris was found more frequently in pigs and cattle than in other animals.

4. Biochemical varieties of the Proteus group occurring in man have been found in animals.

5. The action of Proteus strains on red blood cells was examined and strain differences observed.
