INDEX 



All organisms are listed under the generic names given in the Classificatory Chart on 

 p. 319. Since many rod-shaped organisms have in the past been known under the generic 

 name of Bacillus, irrespective of whether or not they belonged to this genus, we have for 

 the convenience of the reader included most of them under the heading Bacillus (non- 

 itahcized). This heading should therefore be consulted by those who are doubtful to what 

 genus a given organism belongs.
