Extract
1. In an examination of the coliform flora of 114 specimens of bovine faeces, 342 cultures of coliform bacteria were isolated by the ordinary methods.Of the cultures obtained, 330 (or 96·4 per cent.) were typical Bact. coli andonly twelve (or 3·5 per cent.) were of Bact. aerogenes, Bact. cloacae and other Koser-positive types. The most prevalent types of Bact. coli were MacConkey's B, No. 71 or Bact. coli communior (185 cultures or 56 per cent.), MacConkey's B, No. 34, or Bact. coli communis Escherich (sixty-nine cultures or 20·9 per cent.), and MacConkey's B, No. 1 (twenty-three cultures or 6·9 per cent.).
