1. The results are given of the poisoning of Nitocra spinipes (Boeck) by copper and mercury salts used together and separately. 2. The state of copper and mercuric salts in sea water is examined using the available physico-chemical data. 3. The results suggest that the two poisons act in a different manner and possible reasons for this are considered. 4. The striking synergic effects obtained when the two metals are used together are considered to support the suggestion in 3 above and various possible explanations, both biological and chemical for this synergism, are examined.

Chemical tests for control of snow mould of turf grass and alfalfa were conducted at Edmonton from 1945 to 1957. Of a number of chemicals tested, inorganic mercury salts provided the best control. Mercuric chloride was more effective than mercurous chloride for treating alfalfa but no difference in control was observed from the two chemicals on turf grass. Sodium tetraborate sprays applied to the foliage of alfalfa in early fall gave remarkable control of the disease but are not recommended because of the low margin of safety from boron injury.

SummaryReasons for the accumulation of mercury-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus in hospital have been studied. A collection of paired strains, that is staphylococci similar in every respect except sensitivity to mercury salts, was made. Tests were made in an attempt to demonstrate a link between mercury resistance and some other factor which might aid survival, viz. resistance to drying and heat, production of bound coagulase, growth in the presence of sublethal amounts of tetracycline, survival in human blood at 37°C. and uptake by polymorphs at 30°0. and 37°C., development of resistance to antibiotics and competition in mixed cultures. It was not possible to demonstrate any consistent link between mercury resistance and any of these properties. Paper strips impregnated with the mercurial diuretic, Mersalyl, were shown to differentiate between mercury-resistant and -sensitive strains in vitro. Furthermore, development of resistance to mercury by passage in mercuric chloride-broth was demonstrated.It is proposed that mercury resistance has developed as a result of exposure to the mercury ion. Mercurial diuretics have been frequently used in medical and geriatric patients and it is among these that the higher carrier rates of mercury-resistant strains are found even when the local endemic strain is disregarded. In obstetric patients, where mercurials are seldom used, mercury-resistant strains are rare.Nasal carriage of factory workers exposed to mercury products showed that this group is likely to carry resistant or partially resistant strains.
