![BACTERIOLOGY OF CHOLERA. PLATE X. [Note.,—The drawings in this, as in other plates, VII. to XII. inclnBive, represent stab-euUv/res in gelatine of the comma-bacilli obtained from different samples of cholera material examined by me in 1893. These drawings enable comparison to be made, as regards rapidity of growth and liquefaction of the gelatine, between comma-bacilli from the diflferent 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.] Figs. 18 and 18 (a), Ilkeston ; No. XXX. in the text of this report. Pigs. 19 and 19 (a), Appleton-le-Street (1) (Malton Rural); No.XXXIII. in the text of this report. Fig. 20, Great Yarmouth (1); No. XXXVI. in the text of this report.

Southwark is an example of comma-bacilli that are practically non- liquefying: and Ilkeston and Tividale (Eowley Regis) represent comma- bacilli that liquefy the gelatine only slowly.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b20395899_0312.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
