The genus Vibrio vermis incon- spicuus, simplicissimus, teres, elongatus enclosing under thirty-five specific names, with the true bacteria, some organisms belonging to other classes of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. In the classification of the infusoria given by Bory de Saint-Vincent in the Encyclopedic Methodique (1824) and afterwards in the Dic- tionaire Classique d'Histoire Naturelle (1830) the bacteria are distributed in two different famihes of the microscopic gymnodje, the monadaires and the vibrionides. Besides the monads, properly so called, of which the Monas termo has been pre- served by the greater part of the bacterologists, the monadaires include some veritable infusoria, which have no relation with the monads. It was the same with the vibrionides, of which the genera Vibrio and Mellanella included some beings very different in their organization. Indeed, beside some veritable vibrios, bacteria, and spirilla, constituting the genus Mellanella, Bory placed some nematoid worms, such as the Anguillida of vinegar. With Ehrenberg (1838) and Dujardin (1841) the family of the vibrioniens was established upon characters more homogeneous, and their species upon distinctions truly scientific. But these two observers, followed in this by M. Davaine, deny completely the affinities of the elongated bacteria
