Excerpt from The Systematic Relationships of the Coccaceæ: With a Discussion of the Principles of Bacterial Classification
Extensions of this work by the examination of other cultures of cocci, by more extended tests, are much to be desired. Such investigations will no doubt add new genera and species and may show that some of those now apparently warranted are not really valid. It seems to us, however, that the results here presented offer a working basis for classifying the Coccaceae which corresponds in the main With their natural relationships. The results so far attained have convinced us that the study of the numerical frequency of individual characters and of their mutual correlations offers a sound basis for bacterial classification; and we trust that other workers may be persuaded to adopt similar biometrical methods in studying the relationships of simple and variable forms of life.

Excerpt from The Systematic Relationships of the Coccaceæ: With a Discussion of the Principles of Bacterial Classification
This book is the outgrowth of an attempt to classify certain bacteria of sanitary importance belonging to the family of the Coccaceæ. The task was a difficult one on account of the marked variability of the organisms in question. As in other groups of bacteria, an almost infinite number of minutely differing varieties were apparent. Biometrical methods, which have yielded such fruitful results in anthropology, and in various researches in heredity, seemed to offer the most hopeful method of attacking the problem. The attempt was therefore made to discover natural types among the Coccaceæ by a study of the numerical frequency with which various characters occur. Those characters, or combinations of characters, which are exhibited by a large number of races, as they are found under natural conditions, may be taken to mark true centers of variation, about which the rarer varieties should properly be grouped.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the systematic relationships of the Coccaceae family of bacteria. The author conducted extensive research on over 500 cultures of Coccaceae, examining and comparing samples from various sources such as the human body, air, water, and earth. The systematic study of these diverse samples provides a comprehensive analysis of the similarities and differences within this bacterial family. The book presents a compelling argument for classifying bacteria based on the numerical frequency of various characteristics across a broad range of cultures, as opposed to traditional methods that often rely on limited and inconsistent observations. The author's findings challenge the long-held belief that bacterial species are highly variable and instead suggest that there are definable centers of variation. This book is a valuable resource for microbiologists, taxonomists, and researchers interested in bacterial classification and the evolution of bacterial species. By combining statistical analysis with a comprehensive examination of Coccaceae cultures, the author offers a new perspective on the systematics of bacteria and provides insights into the relationships between different bacterial groups. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
