1. (p. i). Anton V. Leeuwenhoek, Arcana naturae detecta. The figure dates from 



the year 1683, and is taken from a new edition of the Arcana published in 

 1722 (vol. ii. p. 40). 



2. (p. 2). Robert Koch, Kreisphysicus in Wollstein, Die Aetiologie der Milzbrand- 



krankheit, begriindet auf die Entwickelungsgeschichte des Bacillus anthracis ; 

 1876. Beitrage z. Biol, der Pflanzen, herausgegeben von Ferdinand Cohn, 

 vol. ii. 



3. (p. 2). Of newer general works may be mentioned : Flugge, Die Mikroorganismen 



(Engl, transl. publd. by the Sydenham Society), 3rd ed. 1896. Lehmann and 

 Neumann, Atlas and Outlines of Bacteriology, 1897. For the fermentation 

 organisms, Lafar, Technische Mykologie, 1897 (English transl. 1898). Up to 

 the present only vol. i (Schizomycetes) has appeared (see note 126). 



Full references to bacteriological papers will be found in Baumgarten's 

 Jahresbericht iiber die Fortschritte in der Lehre von den Garungsorganismen, 

 and in the Centralblatt f. Bakteriologie. This appears in two sections : (1) medical 

 and hygienic bacteriology, and (2) general agricultural and technological 

 bacteriology, physiology of fermentation, and phytopathology. 



The literature of the French school will be found in Mace's Traite pratique 

 de Bacteriologie, 2nd ed. 1891.

observations will be found in Butschli's Weitere Ausfiihrungen iiber den Bau 

 der Cyanophyceen und Bakterien, Leipzig 1896, and in A. Fischer's Unter- 

 suchungen iiber den Bau der Cyanophyceen und Bakterien, Jena 1897.

minute green algae, Protococcaceae) may be found in Engelmann, Zur Biologie 

 der Schizomyceten, Bot. Zeit. 1882.
