SUMMARY Specific groups (or taxa) of micro-organisms can be defined as to their location and extension in a space which is produced when the recorded characters are imagined as dimensions. Since a culture to be identified can be imagined as a point in this space, identification can be achieved by examining which group or taxon occupies the region where the ‘unknown’ lies.
