Abstract
THE vo lume of the Medical Research Council's “System of Bacteriology” before us deals with “Cocci and Haemophilic Bacteria”. A comparatively brief chapter is devoted to the staphylococci. There is an extremely interesting short note on the history, and Prof. Bulloch has appropriately emphasised the important and really primary work done on these organisms by Ogston in Aberdeen. The whole chapter, though brief, is well written, and gives a sufficiently detailed and accurate account of this group of bacteria.
