FLEMING PAPERS. Vol. XLII. 13 Oct.-25 Nov. 1916.

ff. 1-106. 362 x 235mm. Hard black cover with brown binding.

Notebook is focused solely on experiments using substances taken from wounds. All samples are described using a name (some names have more than one sample) and tested with a variety of sugars, milk, red egg and other substances. The majority of cases include a description of the bacteria, whether it is gram positive or negative, whether it spores, its ability to agglutinate and a diagram.

Notebook includes:

Section one: n.d.
