almost, smooth, slightly punctate in the middle, margin smooth. On malt ex- 

 tract agar, colonies red to slightly orange, shining, with small warts and 

 sinuous margin. On malt extract, ring thin, thick sediment. No fermentation 

 of sugars. Milk coagulated, gelatin liquefied (denied by Lodder).

Originally isolated as a laboratory contaminant. Castellani reports it 

 from scrapings in the axilla. 



Cells 2.5-3.8 x 3.2-5/i,, single or in pairs. 



On malt agar, colony intense red, dull, smooth with small warts in the 

 center, margin smooth. On malt gelatin, colony red, center elevated with 

 radial ridges, margin smooth. In malt extract, a broad ring and thick, slimy 

 sediment. Good growth in alcohol. No fermentation; gelatin not liquefied.

Isolated from sputum in a case of chronic bronchitis. 



Cells ovoid to long ellipsoid, 2.5-4 x 5-9/x, single or in pairs in malt extract ; 

 a little shorter, 2.5-3.5 x 4-7.5/a, in malt agar. 



Colony orange red, moist, elevated in the middle with radial folds, margin 

 pellucid, ragged, somewhat slimy. On malt gelatin, colony red, with central 

 knob, radial furrows, and sinuous margin. In malt extract, a ring and sedi- 

 ment produced. No fermentation, acid only with glucose and fructose. Growth 

 good in alcohol. Gelatin not liquefied.

Isolated from hair in pruriginous nodular lesions suggestive of tricho- 

 phytie kerions. 



In malt extract, cells short, ovoid, 2-3 x 4.5-6. 5/x, solitary or in groups of 

 1-3 cells. On malt agar, cells 2-4.5 x 4-5.5/a. On Sabouraud agar, 1.5-2.5/x.
