Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is the isolation and study of the bacteria that ret the wool of living sheep in New Zealand, the study of the distribution of wool-retting bacteria and of some of the conditions in which they bring about decay. It is also desired to show what effect; the wool retting bacteria have upon the hoof of sheep - a substance which like wool, consists largely of keratin - and what effect the hoof rotting bacteria have upon wool.
