9 strains of a new Salmonella type, S. ituri, were isolated from the feces of 2 apparently normal, adult ducks in Zega and of 4" apparently normal, adult ducks in Kasenyi (Lac Albert). The biochemical behaviour of this new type is as follows: No fer mentation of adonitol, inositol, lactose, salicin, and sucrose. No pro duction of indole, no liquefaction of gelatin (60 days 20 0 C.), and no decomposition of urea. Rapid fermentation of arabinose, dulcitol, gluc ose (with gas), maltose, mannitol (with gas), rhamnose, sorbitol, tre halose, and xylose. Positive reaction in Stern's glycerolfuchsin broth, and formation of H2S. Positive reaction in liquid ammonium media -containing glucose or sodium citrate. Positive reaction in d-tartrate, mueate, and sodium citrate after 1 day, in i-tartrate after 2-4 days. Nitrates were redueed, the Voges-Proskauer reaction was negative, and the methyl-red reaction positive. Serologieally the type has the formula 1, IV, XII: ZlO: 1,5. Cross absorptions showed that the 0 antigen is identieal with the 0 antigen of S. typhi murium var. copenhagen. The H antigen ZlO is identieal with the H antigen ZlO of S. haifa = 1, IV, V, XII: ZlO: 1,2. The H antigen 1,5 is not identieal with the H antigen 1,5 of S. thompson. The H serum of S. thompson phase 2 was absorbed eompletely by S. ituri phase 2, but the H serum of S. ituri phase 2 was not absorbed eompletely by S. thompson phase 2: H agglutinins for S. ituri phase 2 and S. panama phase 2 remained in the serum. By eombined absorption with S. thomp son phase 2 + S. panama phase 2 the H serum of S. ituri phase 2 was absorbed eompletely.
