Abstract
Summary
1. A specific strain of salmonella has been invariably obtained on culture from the ulcers of rat cecitis, 2. Salmonella were not obtained from the cecum in the absence of lesions with one exception. 3. Agglutinins for the specific strain of salmonella are found in most of the rats in this colony although the titer is on the average higher in animals with visible cecitis. 4. Feeding the specific salmonella in appropriate doses was followed after a long latent period by development of cecitis in many of the test animals. 5. The association of some other synergistic agent is not fully excluded but seems at present unlikely.
