1. A preliminary survey of the bacterial flora of some different types of slaughterhouse indicates the sources from which heaviest contamination with bacteria is likely to occur.

2. Cleaner working conditions are shown to lead to a diminution in the numbers of organisms present in the air, swabbing water, etc., and in a reduction in the proportion of certain types of organism.
