EREMASCACEAE 179 



8-15 X 5-6/A appear. Hyphae about 2/x in diameter with occasional swellings 

 up to 3/* seen in Raulin's liquid. Chlamydospores 5-8;u, with very thick walls 

 seen on carrot. Asci not observed (Fig. 35). 



Growth over a Avide temperature range between 10 and 55° C, with good 

 growth at 37° C, and at room temperature. On glycerol agar, growth abun- 

 dant, white, smooth, velvety in the depths ; cells ovoid, with very large 

 vacuoles in old cultures. On sucrose or glucose agar, growth creamy, abun- 

 dant, shining with only ovoid cells. On ordinary agar, growth poor, granular 

 with little penetration of the substrate. On carrot and turnip, growth creamy, 

 white, smooth or granular, becoming mamillate, or even crateriform in old 

 cultures, developing hyphae ; cells at first ovoid, soon becoming elongate and 

 mycelial. On potato, growth slow, grayish, soon dry. On gelatin, colonies 

 white, granular, with dendroid growth in the medium ; cells elongate or 

 ellipsoid in the depths but no hyphae, ovoid at the surface. On blood serum, 

 colony grayish white. In liquid media, floccose growth which slowly settles 

 without producing ring or pellicle. Milk not coagulated, gelatin not liquefied 

 after 8 months. No fermentation, sucrose only slightly inverted. 



I have been unable to locate the original descriptions of the following 

 species and know them only from secondarj^ sources.

Isolated from sputum of patient suspected to have tuberculosis. 



Creamy white colonies, asci ovoid, 4-spored, 10/a in diameter.

 1919.

This species is said to be a synonym of Paracoccidioides hrasiliensis 

 (Almeida 1933). 



OLEINA 



Oleina Tieghem, Jour, de Bot. [Morot] 1: 289-292, 1887. 



Raquet mycelium Avell developed, intercalary chlamydospores present ; 

 asci spherical, either intercalary or lateral, no trace of sexuality observed ; 

 ascospores, 8 per ascus, varying from ellipsoid to spherical. 



No type species was designated. 0. nodosa, (Fig. 35, 3) was found grow- 

 ing on fresh cartilage which was floating in olive oil during some studies of 

 saprophytic fungi growing in oil. In this species the asci are intercalary, the 

 spores ellipsoid, 4 x 6/*. 0. lateralis (Fig. 35, i), in which the asci are lateral 

 and the ascospores spherical, 5/i. in diameter, was found on a bit of water- 

 soaked cotton floated on the olive oil in similar experiments. It was cultivated
