Not Saccharomyces hominis Klein & Gordon (1904). 



Isolated from subperiosteal suppuration of the tibia with purulent osteitis 

 terminating in a generalized infection. Must be differentiated from syphilis 

 or tuberculosis. Pathogenic to rabbits and mice. 



Cells ovoid or spherical, thick-walled, elements united in a common homo- 

 geneous gelatinous sheath. Multiplication by sprouting. Neither mycelium, 

 asci, nor spores seen. Optimum growing temperature 37° C. 



Growth good on glycerol agar. On potato, colony is dirty white, later 

 becoming grayish brown, viscous. On gelatin, colonies small, white, shining, 

 rounded after 24 hours, later elevated. Colonies on coagulated serum dirty 

 white, confluent in a thick layer. In broth, a thick whitish sediment appears. 

 Prune decoction turns dirty white with thick sediment. Gelatin not liquefied. 



Atelosaccharomyces Catanei Dodge, n. sp. 



Cryptococcus sp. Catanei, Arch. Inst. Pasteur Algerie 3: 384, 385, 1925. 



Isolated from cases of black pilose tongue along with CasteUania linguae- 

 pilosae. Not pathogenic for guinea pig or rabbit. 



Cells in liquid media small, 2-4. 5/a in diameter, spherical or ovoid ; on solid 

 media, slightly larger, 4-5.3 x 2-2. 6/i,, budding but not more than 3 cells cling- 

 ing together at one time. Rarely slightly longer cells appear on potato and 

 Sabouraud conservation agar. 



On Sabouraud glucose, colonies round, white, creamy, shining ; on con- 

 servation agar, colonies very small and opaline. On gelatin, colonies small, 

 white, growing along line of stab without arborescence ; practically no growth 

 on serum. On potato, colonies slightly yellowish, dull. On potato glycerol, 

 colonies lighter and creamy; on carrot, colonies very small. On broth and
