1. Naturally occurring agglutinins to paracolon bacilli have been found in seven out of ten sera from non-immunized rabbits and in one anti-Salmonella and two anti-paracolon immune rabbits' sera after complete absorption with the immunizing strain.

2. The a antigen of Stamp & Stone, which is known to occur as a natural agglutinin, has been demonstrated in one out of nine paracolon bacilli.

3. Rabbits which before immunization show agglutinins to the immunizing strain or to an α antigen should not be used for the preparation of diagnostic antisera for intestinal Gram-negative bacilli.
