but since Bacillus alvei is not found in this disease it obviousl}' is not the same disease as that described by Cheyne. It would be well-nigh impossible, however, to change the name of this disease, and any effort in that direction would merely result in complicating laws now in force which control the infectious diseases of bees and would serve no good purpose. This disease is here designated '^American foul brood." These names have been chosen only after consultation with some of the leading bee keepers of the United States, and these distinguishing terms were chosen by the majority of those consulted as indicating the place in which the diseases were first investigated in a thoroly scientific manner. Both diseases are found in Europe, as well as in America, so that the names indicate nothing concerning the geographical distribution of the maladies: Strangely enough, certain writers for our American apicultural papers have seen fit to take exception to some of the statements made in this paper without having first found out the reasons for the decisions herein published. Apiculture will not be advanced to any appreciable extent by such eagerness to rush into print, especially when there is not a semblance of scientific investigation back of the criticism.
