![BACTERIOLOGY OF CHOLERA. PLATE YII. [Note.—The drawings in this and in succeeding plates (up to and inclusi-ve of Plate XII,) represent s<ab-ctt?f«res in gelatine of the comma- baciUi obtained from different samples of cholera material examined by me in 1893. These dra-wings enable comparison to be made, as regards rapidity of growth and liquefaction of the gelatine, between comma-bacilli from the different sources. The gelatine medium used was in every instance of precisely the same composition, and in all the subcultures depicted the contained comma-bacilli were an equal number of removes from the raw material whence they were derived. The gelatine medium was inoculated in each instance by a single stab, and all the subcultures were incubated at 20° 0.—E.K.] Fig. 1. Hall (1); No. I. in the text of this report. Fig. 2.

In the case of Morton (Gainsborough Eural), the process is observed to be much more slow.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b20395899_0305.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
