The O2-consumption by the human tubercle bacilli in the emulsion of organs from non-treated guinea-pigs which are considered more sensitive to the orgrnisms was measured. The respiration of the tubercle bacilli was most accelerated in the emulsion of brain and lung. These facts suggest that some respiratory stimulating components are present in these organs, and a few discussions were added to the results.
