Abstract
In a recent series of papers, Flexner (1922), Lynch (1922), Amoss (1922a and b) and Webster (1922a and b) record the results obtained at the Rockefeller Institute in an experimental investigation of epidemics among laboratory animals. These experiments bear a close similarity to those which have been recorded in previous papers of the present series (Topley, 1919, 1921 a and b, 1922 a and b, and Topley, Weir and Wilson, 1921). Their publication affords an opportunity of comparing the results obtained in two independent enquiries, which have been carried out along slightly different lines, and of describing in more detail certain points in the general technique of our own experiments, which have an important bearing on the significance of the results obtained.Keywords
