EREMASCACEAE IMPERFECTAE 299 



Oidium sp. Coley & Tracy, Jour. Med. Res. 16: 237-249, Pis. 18-20, 1907. 

 Perhaps Zymonema dermatitidis. TJiis organism shows much mycelium, 

 somewhat suggesting Madurella or IScopulariopsis. It is not yeastlike. 



Monilia sp., Flu & Woensdregt, Meded. Burgerl. Geneesk. Dienst Nederl. 

 Indie 6: 1-26, 6 figs., 1918. 



Isolated from blastomycosis of the central nervous system. Pathogenic 

 to guinea pigs. 



In spinal fluid, cells 6-7/x in diameter, spherical, in chains of 3-8. Organ- 

 ism gram-positive. No spores found in culture. 



On Sabouraud agar in 3 days, at 26° C, colony opaque, circular, smooth, 

 shining, moist, 1-2 mm. in diameter, china white, hemispheric, becoming yel- 

 lowish white or yellowish brown. In broth, liquid remains clear with slight 

 sediment and pellicle in about 10 days. Pellicle crumbles and settles after a 

 time. No fermentation of sugars. 



Parendomyces sp. Launois et Pinard, Soc. Path. Comp. 1912. 



Monilia de Launois et Pinard Sartory, Champ. Paras. Homme Anim. 708, 

 1922. 



[Monilia sp.] Williams, Med. Jour. Australia 2: 185-187, 4 figs., 1922. 



Isolated from cerebrospinal fluid in case of systemic blastomycosis. Patho- 

 genic for rabbit. 



Cells in tissue somewhat elongate, sprouting from ends. In cultures only 

 spherical cells observed. 



Colony yellowish white, sticky, coalescing and running down surface of 

 slant. Broth cultures turbid, appearing as if a gel were present. 



This organism is possibly Zymonema capsulatum, but was transferred too 

 frequently to secure hyphal formation. Not described fully enough to permit 

 of definite placing.
