The mortality patterns obtained with S. dublin injected intraperitoneally in both control and immunized mice could be described fairly well by curves of a simple Poisson type, based upon the assumption that the receipt of one or more organisms of a type capable of growing in the host resulted in death, and that both vaccination and passive protection simply reduced the proportion of this type.
