458 GENERAL SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY 



sehr kleiner, reihenweise angeortneter, kugeliger Zellen. Die gallertartige Sub- 

 stanz, die die Zellen zusammenhalt und die ganze Kolonie umgiebt, lost sich 

 darauf allmahlich auf, so dass die winzigen Coccen von einander frei werden und 

 durch Wasserstromungen etc. fortgetrieben werden konnen. Eine Eigenbewe- 

 gung der Coccen wurde nicht beobachtet. Durch die Schleimschicht konnen 

 dieselben der Urospora-Membran angeklebst werden und sich weiter entwicklen, 

 Der Parasit ist von dem in mehreren Hinsichten ahnlichen Sarino globulus 

 punctum Pouls. stofflich verschieden. Jodjodkalium und Anilinfarben bewirken 

 bei jenem eine schwachere Farbung, als bei diesem. 



The genus is probably valid, although the location of this organism 

 among the bacteria might be questioned. 



The type species is Sardnastrum urosporae Lagerheim. 



Sarcineae. A subtribal name under Bacterieae used by Trevisan 

 (1879, p. 136) with the following description: "Cellulae substantia 

 intercellulari in colonias mucosas determinatas consociatae." The 

 genera included were: Sarcina, Chlamydatomus and Ascococcus. De 

 Toni and Trevisan (1889, p. 1044) also used the name as a tribal desig- 

 nation with the follov.'ing description: "Cocci in familias pluristratas 

 vel unistratas, muco matricali plus minus conspicuo involutas, con- 

 sociati. Cystides nullae. Endosporae microsomae in coccis normali- 

 bus obvenientes. 



The following genera are included: Thiopolycoccus, Sarcina, Lam- 

 propedia, Thiocapsa, Pediococcus. 



Sarcinee. A tribal designation used by Trevisan (1889, p. 27) for 

 the second tribe of the suborder Coccogene. Four genera are included. 

 Thiopolycoccus, Sarcina, Pediococcus and Thiocapsa. The description is 

 "Cocchi piu o meno densemente aggregati senz'ordine, o ad 8 ad 8, o a 

 4 a 4, in famiglie pluristrate od unistrate, piu o meno anvolte in ganga 

 gelatinosa, non mai racchiuse in cisti speciali." It is a variant of 

 Sarcineae. 



Sarcinoglobulus. See Sarcinaglohulus. The original spelling has 

 not been determined, as the article is not available. Enlows (1920, 

 p. 81) gives Sarcinaglohulus while Lagerheim (1900, p. 280) and others 

 (see Journ. Roy. Mic. Soc, 1880, p. 1001) write Sarcinoglobulus. 



Schinzia. According to Schroter (1886, p. 134) this generic name 

 was first used by Dennstatt. He says: "Eine Gattung Schinzia ist 

 schon fri'iher 1818 im Dennstatt aufgestellt worden." The same 

 name in another sense was used by Naegeli (1842, p. 279) as the generic 

 designation of a fungus found in the rhizome of the Iris. Frank (1879, 

 p. 376) concluded the organism responsible for the root nodules of 

 leguminous plants belonged to the genus defined by Naegeli. To it
