In the cultivation of anaerobes in fluid media exposed to air it has been customary for some time to poise the medium at a favourable oxidation-reduction potential level by the addition of reducing agents or to retard diffusion of oxygen by the addition of agar to the medium. Allwin and Baldwin (1930) reviewed the use of reducing agents some ten years ago. Since that time, other agents have been introduced, particularly ascorbic acid (Klinger and Guggenheim, 1935) sodium thioglycollate and sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate (Brewer, 1940). Spray (1936) reviewed earlier work on the use of agar and successfully used it in the cultivation of clostridia. Brewer (1940) combined the use of reducing agents and agar in a successful medium which has been widely used (McClung, 1940;Reed and Orr, 1941).These additions produce at least theoretical complications. To broth or peptone solutions, active oxidation-reduction systems, there is added another oxidation-reduction system in the form of a reducing agent; the establishment of equilibrium with the atmosphere is delayed by the addition of agar; a further oxidation-reduction system is introduced with the inoculum. At the same time we have no precise information on the limiting oxidation-reduction potentials for the growth of any species, though Quastel and Stephenson (1926), andFildes (1929) have probably approached these limits for two species as closely as the complexity of the system will permit.In the present paper an attempt is made to evaluate the influence of the various ingredients of the media on the O/R potential as measured at a polished platinum electrode and to correlate the potential with the minimum inoculum, of various species of Clo8tridium, to induce growth.

A simple device by which the characters of an unknown organism can be com pared with those of named genera and species is described. The comparison is made by using ‘diagnostic tables’ of characters found to have differential value.Separate tables for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were made; the first stage indicated the probable genus into which the unknown fell and a second (and occasionally a third) stage was needed to identify the species or subspecies.We wish to thank Dr Ruth E. Gordon for much unpublished data which were invaluable in constructing Table 1gg, Miss Helen E. Ross for helping with Table 1f, Dr Oleg Lysenko for letting us use data from a paper about to be published, and Mr W. Clifford for the photographs and figures.
