    A FURTHER COMMUNICATION ON THE RESULTS OF A BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PIPETTES AND COLLYRIA TAKEN FROM A TREATMENT CASE USED IN OPHTHALMIC PRACTICE, WITH THE EFFECTS OF INOCULATIONS. By G. E. de SCHWEINITZ, M.D., CLINICAL PROFESSOR OF OPHTHALMOLOGY, JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE, AND E. A. de SCHWEINITZ, Ph.D., PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY IN THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, D. C. [Read March 7th, 1894.] At the meeting of the College of Physicians, April 3, 1893, we presented a preliminary communication upon the subject contained in the title/ and the results which were reached are summarized in the following tables which are here reproduced. The examination had not gone sufficiently far at that time to plate the cultures and separate the organisms which were present in the lotions and pipettes. The termination of this research is as follows : The cultures given, both by the cocaine pipette and cocaine solution, were found to contain the micrococcus aquatilis, the bacillus liquefaciens, and the proteus vulgaris. In addition, the bacillus of Vignal was detected, which must have been an acci- dental and unusual contamination.
