The subject of Microbiology, including the bacteria, fungi and 

 other microorganisms, is reaching such broad outlines at the pres- 

 ent time, that no single book can ever hope to cover the various 

 phases of the subject, such as classification, morphology, physiology, 

 numerous applications, etc. No one person, however versed and 

 active in the field, can ever expect to become a master of this rapidly 

 growing subject, which has already branched out in a brief period 

 of time into a number of special fields. 



One way to present this subject in a most authoritative and service- 

 able manner is through the publication of the material in the form 

 of a series of monographs by authors of repute and authority. Such 

 a series will enable those who are interested in the subject as a whole 

 or in certain phases of it to obtain authoritative books at a reason- 

 able cost. Monographs will be published concerning certain phases 

 of microbiology in general or concerning personal investigations which 

 can be treated in a monographic manner. Each author will be 

 primarily an authority on the subject with which he deals. A com- 

 plete bibliography will tend to make each monograph an independent 

 contribution. 



Each monograph will consist of one hundred to three hundred 

 pages and the price will range from $1.50 to $3.50; in many in- 

 stances the editions will be bound both in cloth and in paper.
