    Sterne, Max; Du Toit, P.J. (Pretoria : Government Printer, 1938)
    The number of variant forms which can develop in cultures of the anthrax bacillus seems to be very large. (Gratia 1924; Nungester 1929; Stamatin 1934, 1935a, 1935b; Januschke 1935.) Some changes in colony form are so abrupt ...
