OBSERVATIONS UPON THE FILTERABILITY OF BACTERIA, INCLUDING A FILTERABLE ORGANISM OBTAINED FROM CASES OF
INFLUENZA' STUDIES IN BACTERIAL METABOLISM, CI By Professor ARTHUR ISAAC KENDALL DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH BACTERIOLOGY, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY MEDICAL
SCHOOL,
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS THERE is a heterogenous group of formidable dis-

A few of these "iviruses" are said to have been kept alive for periods of tine in presence of large aimounts of blood, or pieces of tissue from recentlv killed animnals, but bv comimon consent, this limnited, restricted developiient is not regarded as equivalent to cultivation in the usual bacteriological sense.
