SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 
Bacteriology for Agriculturists.* — With regard to C. Kramer’s 
Bacteriology, it will be sufficient to say that it is specially intended for 
the use of those engaged in agricultural pursuits. Only the first part has 
appeared, and this deals first with the morphology and biology of 
bacteria, and also with the methods of examining and cultivating them. 
The remainder deals with the bacteria in the soil, the changes produced 
in soil by bacteria, the decomposition of manure and other organic 
substances, the symbiosis of Leguminoste and bacteria, and finally with 
the diseases induced by bacteria in plants and animals. 
Baumgarten’s Annual Report on Pathogenic Micro-organisms, 
including Bacteria, Fungi, and Protozoa.^ — The second half of 
Baumgarten’s report on pathogenic microbes for the year 1888 has 
recently appeared. Beyond stating this fact it is scarcely necessary to 
say more than that it deals with the literature of the subject in the usual 
exhaustive manner, and will be found indispensable by those working 
at pathogenic microbes.
