    With the exception of Section XVII—“Outlines for the Study of Pathogenic Bacteria”—introduced with the idea of completing the volume from the point of view of the medical and dental student, the work has been arranged to allow of its use as a laboratory guide by the technical student generally, whether of brewing, dairying, or agriculture. So alive am I to its many inperfections that it appears almost superfluous to state that the book is in no sense intended as a rival to the many and ex- cellent manuals of bacteriology at present in use, but aims only at supplementing the usually scanty details of technique, and at instructing the student how to fit up and adapt apparatus for his daily work, and how to carry out thoroughly and systematically the various bacterioscopical analyses that are daily demanded of the bacteriologist by the hygienist. Finally, it is with much pleasure that I acknowledge the valuable assistance received from my late assistant, Mr. J. B. Gall, A. I. C., in the preparation of the sec- tion dealing with the chemical products of bacterial life, and which has been based upon the work of Lehmann. John W. H. Eyre. Guy’s Hospital, S. E.
