Fifty-eight specimens of blood from a blood bank were inoculated in fluid thioglycollate, and incubated 15 days at 37° C., and 15 days af 20° C., for sterility control; only three yielded a culture of Faecalis alcaligenes on the twenty-fifth day of the experiment, and it is assumed that this was caused by a, contamination in the laboratory.

A general review of the subject is given, along with a discussion of the prophylaxis of blood bank contamination.
