" These notes are intended merely as an analytical key to bacteriological diagnosis, the object being to secure, as far as possible, a differentiation at once rapid, accurate and simple. The tables were originally drawn up for my own assistance in differentiating the mouth and throat organisms, and finding them of this very material aid, the plan was extended so as to embrace most of the nine bacteria, and the notes are now published, in the hope that they may be of service to other workers." -- from the preface page III.
