Colored photographs of these findings should be obtained if at all possible. 5. No doiiberately contaminated experiments should be run until the 400 and 6CO r groups with germefree aniteals are complsted. 6. All radiation experiments on accidentally contaminated animals should begin 14 daya after a positive culture is obtained. Histolegical examinations should be carrisd out on these animals. 7. Further work on the use of streptomycin in rats is not indicated, 8. It vas agreed that until the 400 and 600 r germefres groups ere completed that a specific recommendation from the Committees for future experiments should ba held in abeyancs. Minutes by R. F.
