of variable dimensions, round or oval, with granular con- 
tents, enveloped by a membrane of double contour and a 
mucilaginous capsule that is often stratified. On gelatin or 
agar, the colonies are white with denticulate margins. Acid 
gelatin is liquefied. It is pathogenic for the guinea-pig but 
not for other animals. 
C. farciminosus Rivolta & Micellone, in Fermi & Aruch, 
Centralbl. f. Bakt. I. 17:593-600. 1895. 
This species has been considered as the parasite of 
“(African glanders." Тһе cells are globose or oval, some- 
times acuminate at the two poles. It grows with difficulty on 
all media. Fermi and Aruch have described the globules, 
which they considered ascospores, in the cells of this yeast. 
C. Gilchristi Vuillemin, in Gedoelst, Les Champ. Par. 1902. 
This fungus was obtained by Gilchrist in a case of scrofulo- 
dermatitis. It is only slightly pathogenic for animals. 
C. granulomatogenes (San Felice) Vuillemin, in San 
Felice, Zeitschr. f. Hyg. 44:364-396. 1903. 
This fungus was discovered by San Felice in the lung 
nodules of a hog. It is only slightly pathogenic for animals. 
C. hominis (Busse) Vuillemin, in Busse, Die Sprosspilze, 
in Kolle & Wasserman, Handbuch 1:631-700. 1903. 
This species was discovered by Busse (’03) in periosteal 
lesions of the tibia of a woman. Im situ the oval or globular 
cells are united in variable numbers in a substance of a homo- 
geneous aspect, constituting a sort of common capsule. This 
homogeneous substance is not present in cultures. The cells 
have a double-contoured membrane that becomes thicker with 
the age of the culture. 
It is easily cultivated on all media between 15 and 38°C. 
In liquid media it forms a deposit of yeast cells and a thin 
film on the surface. It does not liquefy gelatin. On potato 
the colonies rapidly unite to form a thick white layer. The 
fungus ferments dextrose and is pathogenic for rabbits, white 
mice, and dogs.
