19. (p. 30). A very good critical description, both morphological and physiological, of 



the known species of bacteria is given by LEHMANN and NEUMANN (note 3). 

 The pathological forms arc treated most fully, but the work may be strongly 

 recommended to all students.

21. (p. 32). Attempts at new systems introducing new genera have been recently pub- 



lished by A. FISCHER (loc. cit., note 9), by MlOULA in Engler and Fraud's Die 

 natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien, Lief. 129, and by LEHMANN and NEUMANN, loc. 

 cit., note 3. The author offers the arrangement given in the text for further 

 criticism and consideration. 



22. (p. 39). For other pathogenic micro-organisms and fungi see FLUGGE (note 31. 



where also figures and literature are given. 



23. (p. 45). The methods and technique in the bacteriological analysis of air, water, 



earth, food-stuffs, c., will be found in the works cited in note 3, and in 

 every text-book of hygiene. The beginner will find a concrete example of 

 method and results in : HESSE, Ueber quantitative Bestimmung der in der 

 Luft enthaltenen Keime, Mitt, aus dem kaiserl. Gesundheitsamte, vol. ii, 1884 ; 

 MlQUEL, Des organismes vivant de 1'atmosphcre, Paris 1883 ; ROUX, Precis 

 d'analyse microbiologique des eaux, Paris 1892 ; YVOLFFHUGEL, Erfahrungen 

 ii. den Keimgehalt brauchbarer Trink- und Nutzwasser, Mitt. a. d. Reicbs- 

 gesundheitsamt, 1886; LOFFLER, Das Wasser u. die Mikro-organismen, Hand- 

 buch fur Hygiene, vol. i, 2. Abt., 1896. 



24. (p. 48). This mode of classification, as may be seen in these lectures, saves many 



a long description. 



25. (p. 50). A very readable description of the long conflict over the problem of 



spontaneous generation is given in LOFFLER'S lectures (note 4), and also fully 

 in LAFAR'S Technical Mycology ; PASTEUR'S classical work on the matter is 

 Memoires sur les corpuscules qui existent dans 1'atmosphere : examen de la 

 doctrine des generations spontanees, Annales de Chimie et Physique, 1862, 

 3. se'rie, vol. Ixiv. It has appeared also in German (by WIELER) in OSTWALD'S 

 Klassiker der exakten Wissenschaften, No. 39, Leipzig (Engelmann).
