Dear Dr. lederberg:

I am sending you today under separate cover copies of our
reprints on the coliform bacteria. One paper in which I
think you might be particularly interested is no longer
available, but I wish to call your attention to it. The
reference follows: Vaughn, Mitchell, and levine 1939,
The Voges~Proskauer and mthyl red reactions in the coli-
aerogenes group. J. Am. Water Works Assoc., 31, 993-1001.

There are other earlier reprints which also are unavailable
so far as my own collection is concerned. If you have need
for them you might write to Dr. Max Levine, Chief, Bureau
of Laboratories, Territorial Board of Health, Honolulu.

It may be that he has copies which he would be able to send
to you.

We have started to get the collection of cultures ready
to send. They should be on their way within the week.

Very truly yours,

Mb ghe

Reese H, Vaughn
