Nocardia huccalis Castellani & Chalmers, Man. Trop. Med. ed. 2, 819, 1913. 



Found in a case of creamy stomatitis with tonsillar abscess. Caused gen- 

 eralized pseudotuberculosis in guinea pigs. 



Hyphae 0.7-0. 8/a in diameter, branching, forming irregular spores in long 

 undulating chains. Spores at first barrel-shaped, then ovoid. 



Growth good on maltose broth, or broth with glycerol or glucose. On 

 carrot, small white protuberances form, 0.8-2 mm. in diameter. No growth on 

 potato or Jerusalem artichoke. Growth very poor on gelatin or maltose agar, 

 with small, punctiform colonies, 0.5 mm. in diameter, slightly depressed in the 

 center. 



Perhaps the following unnamed species is closely related. 



Actinomyces sp. A. Sartory & R. Sartory, Bull. Acad. Med. Ill, 94: 893, 

 894, 1925. 



Isolated from patient with bronchitis. Pathogenic to rabbit and guinea pig. 



Hyphae 0.4-0.5/x in diameter, variable in length, some branches coiling 

 about three turns, other branches giving rise to chains of arthrospores, 0.5- 

 0.6/i. in diameter. 



No growth on potato, Jerusalem artichoke, agar, or gelatin. Good growth 

 on carrot and banana. 



Further publication promised.

Isolated from the pus of an abscess on the lower jaw. Pathogenic to 

 guinea pig, rabbit, and mouse. 



Hyphae composed of long and short cells suggesting Corynehacterium. 

 Organism and aero-anaerobe, gram-positive. Optimum temperature 37° C, 

 no growth at 22° C. 



On glycerol agar, light yellowish colonies, 2-3 mm. in diameter, with deep, 

 toothed margins; slow in growth, adherent, not confluent. In broth, growth 

 rapid, no pellicle at the surface, no turbidity, spherical colonies at bottom. 

 Claviform formations on serum. No growth on gelatin or potato. No fermen- 

 tation. No formation of hydrogen sulphide or indol.
