W. W. mucus in all cases but four, and blood was absent in 30 instances— hence in two-thirds of the cases studied. If we consider only the instances (16 analyzed) in which the dysen- tery bacillus was found we find that blood occurred 8 times and mucus and feces in all. Of the 3 cases not included in the analysis in one the specimen was dried (case 4) and in two the bacillus was isolated later by Dr. Bassett at the Wilson Sanitarium.
