    at least understand what are the points which will eventually lead to the elucidation of the peculiarities in this respect; and we can recognise most clearly that it is not correct to regard in a- one-sided manner the soil or the water as the only important factor. In every case we may hope that a continued experimental investigation carried on with a definite aim will lead us most quickly to an increase of our knowledge, and to a rational method of prophylaxis against the epidemic diseases. Many other duties have prevented me from finishing the publication of this book as quickly as I could have wished. I have not been able to utilise completely the literature of 1885, and only the most important of the works which have appeared in the present year have been added while the book was passing through the press. The yearly report of micro-organisms lately published by Baumgarten, and written with as much care as knowledge, relieves me, however, of the necessity of giving in an appendix a notice of the more recent works.
