EREMASCACEAE IMPERFECTAE 215 



in appearing. Similar on glycerol agar, serum agar, and coagulated serum. 

 On potato the colony is thick, moist, yellowish, tending to grayish, sur- 

 face convoluted, margin elevated, mycelium appearing after a month. On 

 beets, colony reddish but otherwise similar to that on potato. On gelatin, 

 colony elevated, hemispheric, smooth, later becoming Avrinkled. On beef 

 serum, abundant whitish, floccose deposit. On glucose, maltose, or glycerol 

 broth, white pellicle appears with floccose white sediment, liquid remains 

 clear. Glucose and lactose slowly fermented ; gelatin not liquefied ; mik coagu- 

 lated in 9-10 days. 



Proteomyces cornealis (Nannizzi) Dodge, n. comb. 



Monilia cornealis Nannizzi in Bencini & Federici, Atti R. Accad. Fisiocrit. 

 Siena X, 3: 748-766, 8 figs., 1928; Ibid. 4: 92-94, 1929. 



Isolated from corneal lesions. Pathogenic for experimental animals. 



Cells 3.6 X 1.8/x or spherical 3.5-4/x, in diameter; hyphae septate, cells S/x x 

 2/* with chains terminal on lateral branches of blastospores. Hyphae of vari- 

 able diameter 1.5-2.6/*, chlamydospores thick-walled, terminal. 



On Pollacci agar, colonies irregular, margin erose, denticulate, smooth at 

 first, later velvety, center folded and cerebriform vermiculate. On carrot 

 agar, colony smooth, mammillate, folded, dirty white, moist, margin smooth. 

 On Sabouraud agar, growth slow, irregular, small whitish colonies. On po- 

 tato, colonies caf e-au-lait, diffuse, moist, plane then folded ; on carrot, similar 

 but yellowish. On coagulated egg albumen, colony yellowish white, medium 

 partially liquefied; on coagulated serum, colony grayish, humid. On glucose 

 broth, a slender ring and white sediment. Acid in glucose, sucrose, and salicin 

 broths, slight acidity in fructose, lactose, mannite, dextrin, and galactose. 

 Gelatin liquefied, milk and serum coagulated, methylene blue not reduced in 

 glucose broth. 



Proteomyces goensis Dodge n. sp, 



Monilia sp. Froilano de Mello, Antiseptic 26: 427-432, 2 pis., 1929; Bull. 

 Soc. Path. Exot. 22: 142-147, 2 figs., 1929. 



Isolated in Nova Goa from multiple verrucose dermatitis with lesions sug- 

 gesting those caused by Zymonema dermatitidis. Pathogenic to rabbits and 

 white rats. 



Cells up to 8/x in diameter, mycelium giving rise to groups of blastospores 

 (or conidia). 



On Sabouraud 's maltose or glucose agar, colony whitish. On simple agar, 

 and Gorodkova agar colony yellowish. On potato glycerol, colony dry, waxy, 

 white. On broth, slight pellicle, turbidity, and white sediment. Milk coagu- 

 lated and slowly digested. No fermentation of usual sugars, acid with maltose. 



GEOTRICHUM 



Geotrichum Link, Mag. Ges. Naturf. Freunde Berlin 3: 17, 18, 1809. 

 The type species is Geotrichum candidum Link. 



Colonies membranous, adherent to the substratum, dull, velvety due to 

 abundant coremia, margins uneven, forming a pellicle on liquid media, gelatin
