the colony is less powdery ; a type with a more persistent central crater which 

 is often tinged yellowish; and a third type with a golden yellow or orange 

 central knob from which radiate short furrows. 



Var. chibaense (Ogata) Dodge, n. comb. 



Sabourauditcs asteroides, var. chibaense, Ogata, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 

 29: 1183-1232, PI. 41, 25 -figs., 1929. 



Trichophyton gypseum asteroides, var. chibaense, Ogata, Jap. Jour. Derm. 

 Urol. 29: 1183-1232, PL 41, 25 figs., 1929. 



Maculovesiculose ringworm pruritus on glabrous skin of trunk and arms. 

 Typically endothrix, spores 2-2.5jti in scales. Easily inoculable into guinea 

 pig, rabbit, cat, or dog. Lesion reproduced in man, producing kerion in the 

 scalp. 



Hyphae 3-4/x, aleurospores 3/*, ovoid, in compound thyrses, spirals present. 

 Closterospores probably present, but not mentioned by Ogata. 



Growth rapid, 5 cm. in 2 weeks. Center knotted, dry, yellowish brown, 

 with fine powdery velvet and slender radiations. On glucose agar, brownish 

 yellow without powder. On koji agar, fine radiations with powder from center 

 to periphery. On Pollacci agar, growth good, brownish yellow, membranous, 

 center crateriform, periphery much folded, surface dry with fine white powder. 

 Pleomorphism not observed. 



Fiijii, 1930, reports that an old culture which ceased to produce clostero- 

 spores, did so again after transfer to Pollacci agar. 



Ectotrichophyton ehimeense (Fujii) Dodge, n. comb. 



Trichophxjton ehimeense Fujii, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 31: 305-357, Pis. 

 25, 26, 1931. 



Tinea tonsurans ectothrix type but spore sheath not conspicuous. Spores 

 3/x in hair and in scales. On guinea pig producing papules, typically ectothrix. 



Hyphae 4/a; aleurospores, on simple thyi'ses, 3/*; chlamydospores 9/*, 

 Closterospores 1, rarely 2 celled, 13 x 4/*, pectinate organs and spirals present. 



Growth slow, size of pea in 2 weeks, white downy, elevated at first, 

 gradually becoming rose red and velvet disappearing ; center umbilicate, with 

 many very fine radial striations, reddish brown. Medium rose color. On pep- 

 tone agar, 1 cm. in 30 days, with short thick velvet. No coloring of medium 

 or colony. 



Ectotrichophyton Kagawaense (Fujii) Dodge, n. comb. 



Trichophyton Kagawaense Fujii, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 31: 305-357, Pis. 

 25, 26, 1931. 



Lesions on back of hand, margin of scales reddish, center healing; no 

 vesicles, slight pruritus. In scales, hyphae 5/a, arthrospores 5.5/x. Inoculable 

 to guinea pig, rabbit, and man. In guinea pig, slight scaling, ectothrix type. 

 Reported endothrix in experimental lesions in scalp. 



Hyphae 4.8//., aleurospores 4.5-5.5/i, mostly on simple thyrses, a few com- 

 pound. Chlamydospores spherical, 8-lOyu-, intercalary. Spirals and pectinate 

 organs present.
