Dr. B. Tischer, bacteriologist of the 1894 Plankton expedition, in his report on the "Microbes of the Sea, ' ' says that microbes capable of germination are every where to be found in sea water except at great depths. They are more namerous in the Canary, Florida and Labrador cúrrente than they are in either the Guinea or equatorial cúrrente. They were not detected with certainty in the ooze of the ocean's bed, bnt were abnndamt at all depths shallower than 1,300, and some were found at adepthof 3,500 feet. Like the bacteria of the different diseases, those of the ecean are found in all shapes and forms, the spiral predominating. Nearly all were found provided with hooks or suckers, and one large family are reported as being phosphorescent.
