A comparative trial was made of the main methods available for microscopic demonstration of bacterial capsules and loose slime. The wet-film India-ink method, with careful attention to technic, was found to be most reliable and informative; it revealed capsules and slime in their natural form and size without shrinkage. Of 40 Bact. [ Aerobacter] aerogenes strains thus examined, 37 formed capsules and slime together, while 3 strains which were motile were purely slime-forming. Of 55 Bact. [Escherichia] coli strains, 2 formed capsules and slime, 8 slime alone, and 45 neither capsules nor slime in considerable amt.
