This study concerns itself with the fate of the bacteria after their intraperitoneal injection in the two suspensions mentioned.

Since the original investigations of von Recklinghausen,¹ 1863, much work has been done on the absorption from the peritoneal cavity of dyes (both diffusible and colloidal), organic and inorganic substances in solution and suspension, and colloids, including bacteria. The literature on the subject has been covered by Bolton,² 1921, Katsura³ and Notkin.⁴ The results of the various investigators have been conflicting in regard to the mode of absorption of the various substances.
