    Feeling the need of a Compendium on the subject of this work, it has been our aim to produce a concise treatise upon the Practical Bacteriology of to-day, chiefly for the medical student, which he may use in his laboratory. It is the result of experience gained in the Laboratory of the Hygienical Institute, Berlin, under the guidance of Koch and Frankel; and of information gathered from the original works of other German, as well as of French, bacteriologists. Theory and obsolete methods have been slightly touched upon. The scope of the work, and want of space, forbade adequate consideration of them. The exact measurements of bacteria have not been given. The same bacterium varies often much in size, owing to differences in the media, staining, etc. We have received special help from the following books, which we recommend to students for further reference:— Mac6: Trait6 pratique de Bacteriologie. Frank el: Grundriss der Bakterienkunde. * Eisenberg: Bakteriologische Diagnostik. Crookschank, E. M.: Manual of Bacteriology. GuNTHEii: Einfiihring in das Studium der Bacteriologie, etc. WooDHEAD AND Hare: Pathological Mycology, Salmonsen: Bacteriological Technique (English translation). M. V. BALL. Buffalo, N. Y., October 1, 1891. 62 Delaware Avenue.
