a bottle, upper portion spiral, of 5-20 turns, sometimes terminating in a cluster 

 of spores; also pseudospirals or aborted spirals; large spherical asci (?) con- 

 taining 1-4 black spores (?) and nodular organs very similar to Aspergillus; 

 perithecia also present. 



On Sabouraud maltose, colony 0.5 cm., dry, powdery, whitish or dirty 

 yellow at first, becoming pale rose, Avith central point darker; not umbilicate; 

 reverse yellowish brown in center, dirty yellowish at margin ; not segmented, 

 pleomorphism slow. On Sabouraud glucose, colony rose color tinged with 

 violet. 



Clinically the lesions suggest relationship with some of the pink species 

 of the Epidermophyton rubrnm group, while the presence of spiral hyphae sug- 

 gests relationship with EctotricJiophyton.
