Abstract
ATTENTION has been directed in these columns to the previous editions of this work; to the first on July 7, 1904 (vol. lxx., p. 221), and to the second on November 5, 1908 (vol. lxxix., p. 6). In view of the important progress made during the last five years in sanitary bacteriology, the authors have thoroughly revised their work. Newer ideas on the effect of temperature upon the viability of bacteria in water are included; the recent recommendations of the committee on standard methods are discussed; the description of the isolation of specific pathogenes from water has been largely rewritten and much extended; and a new chapter on the application of bacteriology to the sanitary study of shellfish has been introduced.
