(From the Laboratory of Surgical PatholollY, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore.) THE place of members of the group of the bacillus mucosus capsulatus in human pathology, and their etiological importance in the production of inflammatory conditions, has been emphasized so much in the past few years, that it is needless to review in any detail, the literature of the subject. The recent articles of Friche, Howard, Olairmont, Strong; Blumer, Mallory and Wright, and a number of others, have served to elucidate some of the problems presented by the description of a large number of capsulated bacteria. closely related to the organ­ isms originally described by Escherich, Friedlander and Pfeiffer. The most recent and most comprehensive work upon these organisms is ,that of Perkins who had exceptional opportunities for studying these bacteria, in consequence of their frequent appearance in the autopsies in Oleveland. From Perkins' investi­ gation, it is apparent that, among the large number of capsulated organisms described as distinct species, but three main types can be established. All the organisms, thus far described, are fairly large non­ flagellated bacteria, surrounded TI - Bacillus Mycogenes (Bacterium Mucogenum), Nov. Spec.
