Abstract
The characteristics of plants and animals are contrasted, and suggestions are made for a new classification of the Schizomycetes based on their affinities to animals and plants, and in general on the classification and nomenclature of the Committee of the Society of American Bacteriologists, and following Buchanan''s Systematic Bacteriology and Bergey''s Manual as guides for the main characteristics. The following new names are suggested[long dash]New subclasses: PROTOZOOBACTERIA (p. 368), EUBACTERIA (p. 382), MYCOBACTERIA (p. 386), ALGOBACTERIA (p. 389). New names for orders: PROTOBACTERIALES (Eubacteria) (p. 369), METABACTERIALES (Eubacteria) (p. 382), DESMOBACTERIALES (Algo-bacteria) (p. 389), SIDEROBACTERIALES (Algo-bacteria) (p. 390). New names for families: CRISTISPIRACEAE (Spirochaetales) (p. 368), THIOBACILLACEAE (Protobacteriales) (p. 382), MICROCOCCACEAE (syn. Coccaceae Zopf.) (p. 385, note), BACTEROIDACEAE (Bacteriomycetales) (p. 386), CHLAMYDOTRICHACEAE (Siderobacteriales) (p. 390), SIDEROCAPSACEAE (Siderobacteriales) (p. 391), POLYANGIACEAE (syn.

New names for tribes: HYDROGENOMONADEAE (Nitrobacteriaceae) (p. 370), THIOBACILLEAE (Thiobacillaceae) (p. 370), VIBRIONEAE (Pseudomonadaceae) (p. 382), PSEUDOMONADEAE (Pseudomonadaceae) (p. 383), ACETOBACTEREAE (Leptotrichaceae) (p. 386), LEPTOTRICHEAE (Leptotrichaceae) (p. 386), DIALISTEREAE (Bacteroidaceae) (p. 387), AEROBACILLEAE (Aerobacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 388), PSEUDOBACILLEAE (Aerobacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 388), ANTHRACEAE (Bacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 388), BOTULINEAE (Botulinoideae, Clostridiaceae) (p. 374), PUTRIFICEAE (Botulinoideae, Clostridiaceae) (p. 374), WELCHIEAE (Clostridioideae, Clostridiaceae) (p. 374), CLOSTRIDIEAE (Clostridioideae, Clostridiaceae) (p. 374), ACTINOBACILLEAE (Mycobacteriaceae) (p. 389), MYCOBACTEREAE (Mycobacteriaceae) (p. 389), TISSIERIEAE (Mycobacteriaceae) (p. 889), ACTINOIDOMYCETEAE (Actinomycetaceae) (p. 389), CHLAMYDOTRICHEAE (Chlamydotrichaceae)(p. 391), CLONOTRICHEAE (Chlamydotrichaceae) (p. 391). New names for subtribes: CENTROSPORINEAE (Aerobacilleae, Aerobacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), AEROBACILLINEAE (Aerobacilleae, Aerobacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), BACILLINEAE (Bacilleae, Bacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), ASTASINEAE (Bacilleae, Bacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374). New names for genera: CENTROSPORUS (Centrosporineae, Aerobacilleae, Aerobacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), FUSIBACILLUS (Centrosporineae, Aerobacilleae, Aerobacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), AEROBACILLUS (Aerobacillineae, Aerobacilleae, Aerobacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), MEGATHERIUM (Bacillineae, Bacilleae, Bacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), FLEXUS (Astasineae, Bacilleae, Bacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), ANTHRAX (Anthraceae, Bacilloideae, Bacillaceae) (p. 374), BOTULINUS (Botulineae, Botulinoideae, Clostridiaceae) (p. 388), CHAUVOEA (Botulineae, Botulinoideae, Clostridiaceae) (p. 388), WELCHIA (Weichieae, Clostridioideae, Clostridiaceae) (p. 388), ACTINOIDOMYCES (Actinoidomyceteae, Actinomycetaceae) (p. 375), TISSIERIA (Tissierieae, Mycobacteriaceae) (p. 389).
