860 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



acute gonorrheal urethritis, epididymitis, and prostatitis developed. Gon- 

 ococcus disappeared in 14 days under the above-mentioned treatment. Ex- 

 amination showed small white star-shaped colonies of mycelium in posterior 

 urethra. The fungus is evidently a saprophyte as secondary invader. Therapy : 

 AgNOg, 1-2%, applied directly to colonies with urethroscope. 



Spores cylindric to sickle-shaped, with or without septa, usually in groups 

 of 2-8. Chlamydospores also present. 



Colonies dry, sunk in substratum, separable with difficulty, center um- 

 bonate with radiating furrows, dull yellow to red brown, color diffusing into 

 medium. At 37° C, little aerial mycelium; at room temperature, much aerial 

 mycelium, which is white on gelatin. Growth good on broth, malt extract, 

 milk, litmus milk, or urine, of star-shaped flocculi which both float and sink 

 to form sediment. Gelatin not liquefied. Glucose and lactose not fermented. 

 Milk peptonized. 



Fusariopsis Derrieni Parreiras Horta, Brasil Med. 33: 395, 1919 (nom. 

 nudum) ; Tribuna Med. Rio de Janeiro 25: 233-256, 1919. 



Isolated from a case clinically diagnosed as diphtheria in Carrieu's clinic 

 in Montpellier. False membranes and white points on uvula and left tonsil. 

 Author unable to cultivate. 



Conidia fusiform, unicellular or 1-septate. Mycelium present. Fusariopsis 

 was separated from Fusarinni solely on basis of human pathogenicity. 



Unknown or of Doubtful Position 



The following species are either too poorly described to place definitely 

 or are known to me only by mention in secondary sources. 



Sarcinomyces Inkin'Oho, mentioned by Ota, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 28: 

 [4], 1928. 



Found on scrotum, in Formosa. 



Adenomyces Oruzi Dias 1917. 



Montoyella Bodini Castellani 1907; Castellani & Chalmers, Man. Trop. 

 Med. ed. 2, 799, 1913. 



Colonies whitish or greenish. 



Reported by Castellani & Chalmers, 1913, from red pinta [p. 1514]. 



Muoor mycetomi Gelonesi, Ann. di Med. Nav. Colon. 33: 283-308, 8 figs., 

 1927. 



Isolated from a black grain mycetoma in Somaliland. 



When liquid from lesions was planted, tubes mostly remained sterile. 

 Very rapid growth on banana, with "physiologic" serum at bottom of tube. 

 Colonies ochre yellow, smooth, humid, adherent to the substrate, confluent, 

 forming milky white, humid, dense pellicle. After two months, a white, 

 cottony growth, 2-4 mm. above, hyphae erect, terminated by a black round 

 little grain. The moist, mucous, waxy layer is composed of hyphae, 4-5/1 in 

 diameter, densely interwoven, possessing granular protoplasm, regularly and 

 frequently septate with branching both dichotomous and at various angles
