1. Certain cross-immunisation experiments (on monkeys) with B. abortus and B. melitensis carried out in 1921 were repeated with the same effective result.

2. It was found that goats vaccinated intravenously with B. abortus in massive doses are protected from subsequent infection with a virulent B. melitensis strain, and fail to pass that organism in the milk.

3. The record of the effect of B. abortus vaccine in treating three cases of undulant fever is given.

In conclusion I wish to express my thanks and gratitude to the staff of the Lister Institute for the hospitality of the laboratories and for many valuable criticisms.
