LITERATURE OF FAVUS. 189 



confounded the spores of this fungus with Cryptococcus Cere- 

 visia ;" Muller, Retzius, Remak, Link, and Lebert, to whom we 

 are chiefly indebted for a more correct knowledge of this fungus, 

 classified it with Oidium ; Vogel described it superficially; Rnyer 

 and Montagne knew it well, whilst Leveille could not discover 

 it; Mahon considered the disease to be a hypertrophy of the 

 follicle of the hair, and thought that the hair was piercing the 

 sebaceous follicles ; Cazenave and Didot view the favus as an 

 inflammatory disease of the follicle, and deny, on that account, 

 the fungus and the parasitical nature of the disease, because 

 Brett thought he had noticed the favus to occur after great 

 mental excitement, owing to moral influences. Bazin must be 

 looked upon as the most complete observer of this fungus among 

 modern writers, though his illustrations are faulty, since they 

 confound the sebaceous follicles with the fat-glands, not allowing 

 that the latter opened into the follicle, and, moreover, thought 

 they were sudorific glands.
