Abstract

The chemical and immunological properties of the soluble specific substances of a strain of Friedländer's bacillus and Pneumococcus Type II are described and correlated, and the serological and antigenic similarity of these biologically unrelated organisms is discussed as an example of heterogenetic specificity among bacteria.
