Observing the spread of cerebrospinal meningitis in Kazan for 8 years already, we can say that the source of infection throughout this period has been almost continuous in the form of individual cases, periodically turning into more or less widespread epidemics. The last epidemic of 1928 was examined in the most detail by us both from the bacteriological and from the serological side, and therefore we will allow ourselves to share our observations.
