Abstract
BACTERIAL scums are exceedingly common in ditches and ponds, nature's laboratories, and it is a matter of much importance to know what goes on therein. Some light may be thrown upon this subject by making infusions or macerations from cut fragments of various plants, and then examining, at different periods, the scum or pellicle that forms on such fluids. What I have now to say will refer almost exclusively to infusions made from hay. The hay employed may be either fresh or old, but it does not do to substitute for hay mere unripe grasses. I have elsewhere shown how remarkably different are the products derivable from living unripe grasses and from ordinary hay.1
