CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The Pickett-Thomson Laboratory was established at St Paul's Hospital, Endell Street, London, in 1922, with David Thomson as Director and Sir Ronald Ross as its President. It produced 10 volumes of 'Annals', 1924-1934, recording its work on bacteria and other microorganisms using the techniques of microphotography. Some of the papers published in these volumes deal with the same subject as this manuscript but it does not appear to have been published in exactly the same form; also, it incorporates an account by Thomson of his career prior to the inauguration of the Pickett-Thomson Laboratory and his earlier work in microphotography.
