In a former paper* by one of us (A. C. A.) attention was called to the fact that in the water of at least one American river, viz. the Schuylkill, at Philadelphia, pathogenic spiril]a had been detected that possess the majority of the characteristics common to that group of spirilla whose most important member is the spirillum of Asiatic cholera. In the course of the investigation seve~:al ques...
