Abstract
In our First Report we endeavoured to give a concise account o f the more important work which has been done on the bacteriology of water, and devoted special attention to those investigations which have thrown any light on the vitality of pathogenic bacteria when submerged in aqueous media of various kinds and under various circumstances. We showed what a very large amount of scientific labour has already been bestowed on this comparatively new subject; and we as far as possible sifted this accumulated material, collecting those facts which may be reasonably regarded as definitely proved, and separating them from those which are more or less uncertain, problematical, or contradictory. The results of this critical analysis we embodied in a number of conclusions, to be found on pp. 124-219 of our Report, and to which we would again refer the reader.
