Abstract
IT might be said that the illustrative side of the science of bacteriology, whether by photographs, drawings, or coloured pictures, is, to some extent, overdone, and that the “Hand-Atlanten” of Lehmann and Neumann and the Atlas der Bakterienkunde by Fränkel and Pfeiffer already cover the whole field. Further, that the modern textbooks of bacteriology are filled with numerous and useful illustrations, and have, of course, in addition the advantage of containing a complete and elaborate description of the morphological and biological characters of all the most important bacteria, besides all other information necessary to a correct knowledge of the science of bacteriology.
An Atlas of Bacteriology.
