A MANUAL OF THE PENICILLIA 



have described a new species, Paecilomyces hibernicum, isolated from butter 

 in Ireland. Conidia are elliptical, 4.0 by 2.6/x, and range from hyaline to 

 pink; macrospores are reported. Thom is said to have confirmed the 

 fungus as a new species. A strain under this name, presumably type, re- 

 ceived in August 1946 from the Centraalbureau, now produces broadly

\ ~ Sakaguchi, Inoue and Tada (1939) described as a new species, Penicillium 



viniferwn, which represents a Paecilomyces that is like P. varioti in color 



but produces penicillate conidial structures of fairly regular pattern and 



sterigmata with prominent but shorter conidial tubes than typical P. varioti 



strains. A second culture also described as new by the same authors,
