FUNGI IMPERFECTI 
CRYPTOCOCCUS 
The species of Cryptococcus here given were reported 
as having been obtained from tumors, but their róle in the 
produetion of these malformations has not been determined. 
C. Corsellii (Corselli & Frisco) Neveu-Lemaire, in Corselli 
& Frisco, Centralbl. f. Bakt, I. 18 :368-373. 1895. 
This species was isolated by Corselli and Frisco ('95) 
from a sarcoma of the mesenterie ganglia of a man. This 
fungus has dark cells, globose, and of variable dimensions. 
It is easily eultivated on gelatin, agar, and bouillon, neutral 
or alkaline. It can give rise to a slight fermentation and is 
pathogenie for guinea-pigs, dogs, and rabbits, by intraperito- 
neal inoculations. 
C. degenerans Vuillemin, in Roncali, Centralbl. f. Bakt. 
І. 18 :353-368. 1895. 
Roneali (295) observed this species in the ganglion of 
the armpit of a woman affected with cancer of the breast. 
In the cancer the cells are globose, rarely oval or reniform, 
isolated or in groups. In cultures the cells are globose or 
elliptical. On sugar nutrient liquids this fungus produces a 
film. On gelatin the colonies are irregular in outline and 
of a light yellow color. Gelatin is not liquefied and sac- 
charose is not fermented. It is pathogenic for the guinea- 
pig by intraperitoneal injections. The autopsy revealed an 
abscess of the mesenteric ganglia, which was produced by 
degeneration products; the normal cells were rarely found 
in these lesions. 
Cryptococcus of Gotti & Brazzola, in Guilliermond, Les 
Levures. 1913. 
This species was found by Gotti and Brazzola in a 
myxosarcoma of the nasal fossa of a horse. The cells are
