In December, 1920, Capt. F.C. Minett, R.A.V.C., of the Royal Army Veterinary School, Aldershot, published an account of diphtheria bacilli isolated by him from eleven horses and one mule. He states that during the last year of the War and for some months after the Armistice the laboratory at the Army Veterinary School received for examination numerous specimens of pus derived chiefly from suspected cases of ulcerative lymphangitis; a condition in horses in which swelling of the lower parts of a limb or limbs is accompanied by abscess formation followed by ulceration. From this material he collected and investigated a number of diphtheroid strains including the bacillus of Preisz-Nocard and in the course of his inquiry discovered twelve strains of the diphtheria bacillus.
