The sputum treated was examined at the end of 24 to 48 hours, after which time, weekly and then monthly examinations were made for a period of four months. Except with HC1 the preservation was good and the bacilli stained deeply; HC1 seemed to disorganize the bacilli. The author recommends the...

Page 1422 - O.tj gm. of mercuric acid is now slowly added, and as soon as the mixture assumes a dark purple color it is removed from the flame and cooled rapidly. The stain is filtered and one drop of hydrochloric acid is added. The stain requires several weeks to ripen. It appears to keep indefinitely. Sections are stained from five to ten minutes and are then washed for about a minute in a 1 per cent, solution of nitric acid in alcohol ; the acid alcohol is then thoroughly removed with pure alcohol, and the...
Page 1267 - Germ is a noteworthy 26 : 45, pi. i. contribution towards a better knowledge of the parasitic bacterial diseases of plants. The paper, though ready for publication in 1897-, has been withheld till now to learn why such meager growth was obtained on the host plant. The Pseudomonas hyacinthi (Wakker) (EF Smith) is a yellow rod-shaped organism, non-sporiferous, color distinctly yellow but somewhat variable ; old cultures on some media darken from the production of a soluble pale-brown pigment. This...
Page 1174 - The tetrad division in a hybrid plant. It has long been known that hybrids are generally sterile, and it has also been known that the pollen of hybrid plants is commonly imperfect. The present writer investigated the formation of the tetrad in Syringa rothomagensis, a hybrid between S. persica and S. vulgaris. The form did not prove to be a favorable one for such a problem, because the pollen of both parents is poor, in .S. vulgaris about 50 per cent. of the pollen grains appearing to be incapable...

Filter through moistened filter-paper until perfectly clear. To 100 cc. of the filtrate add 10 cc. of absolute alcohol and 11 cc. of concentrated alcoholic solution of gentian violet. After remaining the required time in this mixture the specimens are placed for about five minutes in the following iodin solution: — Iodin .............

Remarks. — The remarks made under zinc are applicable to cadmium in every case. The double Sulphocyanate of cadmium and mercury is more soluble than that of zinc, hence Fig.
