Abstract
IT is not possible in a short review of this book to deal in any detail with the very extensive revision which has been carried out so successfully by the authors. Whole chapters have been rewritten and rearranged in order that the results of the very rapid advances which have taken place in bacteriology during the last few years could find their place. It is only necessary to read such chapters as those dealing with antigen-antibody reactions and virus immunity and to note the extensive additions which have been made in chapters on the Streptococci, Brucella, etc., to have some idea of the magnitude of the task undertaken and so thoroughly carried out.
