The above observations seem to me clearly to afford proof that we are not justified in concluding that, because the bov ine bacilli are more virulent for guinea-pigs and rabbits, they are therefore more virulent for man. Granting as I have shown that under certain conditions and in certain cases bovine tuberculosis is transmissible to man, it is at the same time very remarkable how singularly rare are the cases which afford reasonably sure grounds for being certain that infection has been through the milk. The number of clear cases may be counted upon the fingers of the two hands and this notwithstanding the fact that for now 17 years the identity of human and bovine tuberculosis has been generally accepted. Not one clear case of series of cases by an individual Observer has been published per an num.

Of all the milch cattle give evidence of the disease.
