• = Acid or top yeast. 



N = Nitrites 



Subcutaneous injection into guinea pigs in eleven cases gave a general 

 glandular enlargement. It was possible to recover the yeasts from 

 the glands. Eight of these gave a false membrane in guinea pigs when 

 rubbed on an abraded surface of the mucous membrane lining the cheek. 

 In three cases this membrane extended down over the entire throat. 

 The clinical history of the cases from which the yeasts were recovered 

 in numerous cases showed membranous angina and the absence of the 

 Bacillus diphtheriae.
