Abstract
MODERN research has established the manifold activities exerted by micro-organisms in almost every department of agriculture and the attention of micro-biologists has naturally been directed to a study of the micro-organisms present in soil which influence its fertility, and of those met with in fodder and manure and in agricultural products such as milk, butter, and cheese. The result has been that many books dealing with these subjects have appeared during the last few years, but we doubt if any single volume has been issued which will compare with that under review in the completeness with which agricultural bacteriology is treated in a comparatively short space of five and twenty lectures. Prof. Löhnis has managed to convey an admirable summary of the whole subject.
