In my first report I showed that in the throats of persons not known to have been in contact with cases of cerebro-spinal fever organisms were frequently found which were indistinguishable from meningococci isolated from the cerebro-spinal fluid of persons suffering from that disease.

^{page 69 note 1} It must not be assumed that a medium which gives a good primary culture of cerebropinal meningococci is necessarily good for naso-pharyngeal meningococci; the cerebropinal fluid transferred to the plate along with the former organisms is itself an adjuvant o growth.

^{page 88 note 1} It is in view of this general question that I have discussed the significance of absorption experiments with food-poisoning organisms; the question of what is the best way to classify these particular organisms would involve consideration of many matters, in addition to absorption experiments, and does not come within the scope of this report.
