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.
