[1] Sir H. A. Blake has called attention to the fact that the “mosquito theory” of malaria is mentioned in a Sanscrit manuscript of about the 6th century A.D. [2] Myxomycetes excepted, and they are probably to be regarded as animals--Mycetozoa. [3] Centralblatt f. Bakteriologie, etc. LXIII. 1 Abt. Orig. 1912, 4, idem LXVI. 1 Abt. Orig. 1912, 323.

We prefer the latter since it is easier and more natural and should like to see it adopted. (Author.)

Seeds of many plants have been subjected to as low temperatures as those above-mentioned without apparent injury. [6] It is popularly supposed that in canning fruit, vegetables, meats, etc., all the air must be removed, since the organisms which cause “spoiling” cannot grow in a vacuum. The existence of anaërobic and facultative anaërobic bacteria shows the fallacy of such beliefs.

It gives with iodine and sulphuric acid a blue color and with iodine zinc chloride a violet and yields dextrose on hydrolysis.”--H. Fischer.
