Abstract
Pneumococci form a group of organisms of which the individual strains exhibit wide differences in character. Like the streptococci, certain types of which they closely resemble, they show a variability in their predilections and behaviour bewildering to those who are attempting to classify them. Not only are pneumococci known to cause a great variety of lesions about the body, but they have also been found in the throats of a large proportion of healthy persons who apparently suffer no inconvenience from their presence—Stillman (1916, 1917), Glynn (1923) and others.
