The use of blood agar for the study of streptococci.

New York: Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, 1919.

In this monograph with numerous charts and 34 full-page plates Brown classified streptococci into α, β, A prime and γ based on the type and degree of hemolysis produced by the bacteria on a blood agar plate. He also definitively demonstrated the value of the blood agar plate for the classification of bacteria. Digital facsimile from Google Books at this link.
