Parasites resembling the thrush-fungus. 



Similar parasites as in thrush are sometimes seen in the oeso- 

 phagus and in vomited matters. Wedl describes the following 

 case by Herzfelder. (Tab. V, fig. 1 a g.) 



Round spores of 0*005 9 mm. in diameter were discovered in 

 the vomited mass, with a partly voluminous, bright, eccentric 

 nucleus and group-like accumulations. The thallus-threads had 

 a transverse diameter of 0'003 014 mm. The cells of the 

 thicker threads exhibited a very large, bright nucleus, and be- 

 came smaller towards the two points of meeting. Two round 

 nuclei were frequently seen on the outermost cells. These cells 

 were sometimes of an elongated shape, with a nucleolus towards 

 the uniting parts. Even the thinnest threads still exhibited little 

 granules. In the original cells of the thallus-threads were seen 

 several granules (nuclei ?) in a separate state or in little heaps. 

 They were most copious on the lower part of the oesophagus near 

 the cardia of the stomach. 



The mother-soil consisted of a molecular mass, together with 

 decayed granules (remains of epithelial cells) and slightly granu- 

 lated globules in striped mucous masses.

Berg found a fungus in the mouth and on small intestinal 

 ulcers which he does not further describe. 



Bennett found a fungus between the teeth and the gums of a 

 person attacked by typhus. It was 0-003 6'" broad ; its free extre- 

 mities not very numerous, and fringed by a row of spores. Little
