1934. Clark, Paul F. Morphological changes during the growth of bacteria. [Abstract.) 

 Absts. Bact. 3: 2. 1919. — "In some instances as early as two hours after transplanting, and 

 in practically all cases by the fourth or sixth hour of growth, the majority of the organisms 

 in any given smear were approximately twice as large as the organism we have considered the 

 average, namely, the organisms from a twenty-four-hour culture." Members of the diph- 

 theria group are a marked exception. In cultures 4 to 6 hours old the individuals are smaller, 

 less variable and stain more readily than those from cultures 24 hours old. [From author's 

 abst. of paper read at scientific session, Soc. Amer. Bact.] — D. Reddick. 



1935. Coker, W. C. The Hydnums of North Carolina. Jour. Elisha Mitchell Sci. Soc. 

 34: 163-197. PI. 1-29. 1919. — Twenty-eight species of the larger Hydnums, including Hyd- 

 num, Manina, Steccherinum, Hydnellum, Phellodon and Hydnochaele are reported. Of these, 

 Hydnellum carolinianum Coker and Phellodon Cokeri Banker are reported as new. Resupin- 

 ate species are not treated. Of the plates two are in color, three are high power drawings 

 of the spores, the remainder are photographs. — W. C. Coker. 



1936. Coker, W. C. Craterellus, Cantharellus, and related genera in North Carolina 

 with a key to the genera of gill fungi. Jour. Elisha Mitchell Sci. Soc. 35: 24-48. PI. 1-17 (in 

 color). 1919. — Twenty-six species are reported, belonging to the following genera: Eomyce 

 nella, Trogia, Nyctalis, Craterellus, Cantharellus and Plicaturella. Plate 17 gives the spore 

 characters. — W. C. Coker. 



1937. Darnell-Smith, G. P. The occurrence of an inverted hymenium in Agaricus cam- 

 pestris. Proc. Linnean Soc. New South Wales 43 : 883-8S7. PI. 91-93. 1918.— The article 

 records teratological observations on Agaricus campestris derived from a particular sample of 

 spawn imported from France. The under surface was normal but the upper surface was 

 broken by one or more black protuberances composed of irregular, sinuous, labyrinthiform 

 lamellae having the appearance of small inverted caps without stipe. These were quite 

 separate from the normal hymenium. Spores were borne upon enlarged cells provided with 

 1-4 sterigmata. These abnormal mushrooms are considered as a partial reversion to an 

 ancestral, cj'lindric, dome-shaped form having semi-alveolar or labyrinthiform gill formation 

 over the exposed upper surface. In the evolution of the normal cap the hymenium is consid- 

 ered as having been relegated to the lower surface, the gills having developed from the origi- 

 nal pore or alveolar structure. — C. J. Humphrey.

 to fiat sours. [Abstract.] Absts. Bact. 3: 4. 1919.— See Bot. Absts. 5, Entry 2164. 



1910. Eberson, Frederick. A yeast-agar medium for the meningococcus. [Abstract.] 

 Absts. Bact. 3: 10. 1919. — "The primary objects of these experiments have been attained, 

 namely to find a cheap and simple medium which would enable us to maintain cultures of a 

 delicate organism such as the meningococcus so that shipment over long distances might be 

 practiced without danger of losing valuable strains." — Preparation of medium: Macerate 10
