The author feels that existing text- 

 books upon Bacteriology, lucid and 

 complete as they are, are concerned 

 chiefly with the pathological aspect ; 

 whereas the treatment given to the 

 bacteriological examination of water, 

 air, foods, and the like is commonly 

 inadequate. " The aim of this volume 

 is to remedy this defect and to make 

 available a practical manual dealing not 

 only with the examination of these 

 substances but also with the deductions 

 to be drawn from the bacteriological 

 data obtained from their examination. 

 Much of the available information 

 is only at present to be found in 

 original papers not always readily ac- 

 cessible."
