NOTE ON HÆMORRHAGIC SEPTICÆMIA IN CHICKENS AND TURKEYS.
Lucet describes a septicæmia of chickens and turkeys accompanied by dysenteric discharges. The microbe resembles the bacillus gallinarum of Klein (see Vol. II, p. 254), even in the immunity of pigeons and rabbits when injected subcutem. Rabbits, however, suffer when injected intravenously. The probability is that this bacillus is identical with that of Klein. Yet in this whole class of microbes of the colon group, variations, apparently superinduced by environment, appear to result at times in a deadly pathogenesis for different genera, and epizoötics differing from each other.
