Abstract
AS a short and readable handbook for the many different categories of student and research worker concerned with mycological problems, whether industrial or medical, this new edition of Henrici‘s well-known book should prove of real,value. It is up to date–in so far as this is possible at a time when the whole subject is in a state of rapid advance, with the concomitant production of a vast new literature. Indeed, a more or less complete re-writing of the earlier edition has been necessary in order to do justice to the many exciting discoveries of the past decade. The aim, like that of the earlier edition, has been to provide bacteriologists with some of the knowledge which they ought to possess concerning other groups of parasitic and saprophytic microorganisms, that is, yeasts, moulds, and actinomycetes.
