636 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Colonies greenish from conidia, sterile mycelium white. Mycelium vari- 

 able, 1-3/A in diameter, cylindric, ovoid, or spherical ehlamydospores, 6-7/x in 

 diameter. Conidiophores lOO-350/i, high, vesicle ovoid, 16 x 20fx, whole surface 

 covered with phialides, 18-22 per great circle, 4/a long. Three to four sec- 

 ondary phialides per primary phialide, 1-2 x 5-6ju,. Conidia in chains, 3/x in 

 diameter, finely echinulate and bright green.

Isolated from bronchomycosis, cases similar to those reported in A. 

 Brodeni. Recovery followed Kl-emetine treatment. 



Close to A. Brodeni but less velvety, deeper green, with radial furrows in 

 the colonies. Conidiophores very similar as to shape and size. Conidia bottle 

 green, spherical, 3-4^ in diameter, or ovoid, 3 x 5/a. 



Aspergillus cyaneus (Mattlet) Dodge, n. comb.

Isolated from a case of chronic bronchitis Avith a little emphysema. Au-

]\Iycelium white, hyphae variable, 1-5/x, in diameter. Conidiophores 3-4|U 

 in diameter by 150-300/a high. Primary phialides 3 x 8-lOyu,, secondary phialides 

 about 1.5-2 X 4-6/x; conidia blue gray, smooth or echinulate, 3/x in diameter. 

 Colony appears grayish blue, interrupted by straw yellow areas formed of 

 many cespitose sclerotia (suggesting raspberry). Sclerotia [perithecia?] vary 

 from 120-350/x in diameter and are composed of polyhedral cells, 5-18/a in di- 

 ameter with very thick walls, 4-6/* in larger cells. Sclerotia hollow and allow 

 a large volume of fatty droplets [ascospores?] to escape. Optimum temper- 

 ture 30°-37° C.

Found by Siebenmann in 2 cases of otomycosis. 



Conidiophores cinnamon brown in color, more or less sinuous, septate or 

 not, 50-100/A, rarely 200 jx long by 3-5/* in diameter at base, increasing gradu- 

 ally to obconic vesicle, glaucescent, becoming brown, 12 x 10/x,. Primary 

 phialides approximately 5-8 x 2-3/x, secondary usually also present, 7-10 x 

 2-2.5/1,. Conidia spherical, 3/// in diameter, in chains. Perithecia in a nest of
