(8) Miscellaneous materials.-Thirty nine examinations were made under this head. Of some interest were three instances of the occurrence of the disease of bread known as "ropy bread”. Two of the cases were referred by the naval authorities and one by a private individual. In all of them we were able to isolate the causative organism, B. mesentericus panis viscosi, and to reproduce the disease by inoculation into a freshly baked loaf. A good summary of our knowledge of this condition is given by Rowlette (Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, Vol. LX, No. 2 February, 1938).
Twenty five brains were examined for Negri bodies, one of them that of a monkey. Three dog's brains showed Negri bodies.
