ent in mice obtained from another institution that supplies animals to many laboratories throughout the country. "Activation" of this infection by radiation and other stressing agents (3) may invalidate experimental results. It is, therefore, advisable to reemphasize the importance of post-mortem examination of animals that die without any apparent cause, as well as of systematic examination of all dead experimental animals. In our experience, latent pseudotuberculosis in a resident animal colony presents a very serious problem. Eradication of infection in such a herd is a difficult task with uncertain results. I. L.
