The final report^ of the Committee of the Society of Ameri- 

 can Bacteriologists on Characterization and Classification of 

 Bacterial Types offers a suggestive and tentative outline of 

 bacterial classification. 



The idea of preparing a chart which would illustrate graphi- 

 cally the position of the orders, families, tribes and genera pre- 

 sented itself to the writer, with the result that the accompanying 

 chart was prepared. It is realized that the classification is not, 

 in any way, final but it is thought that the chart may prove 

 useful to bacteriologists who wish to have a convenient guide 

 to the arrangement of the Schizomycetes under the proposed 

 classification.
