104 SPIROCILETES. 



usually showed five or six blunt curves, and occurred 

 along with fusiform bacilli. 



R6na found spirochaetes in noma, hospital gangrene, 

 ulcus gangrenosum genitalium and pulmonary gan- 

 grene. They occurred along with fusiform bacilli. 

 Those in noma and gangrene were of the same kind, but 

 those seen in ulcus gangrenosum were smaller. 



Possibly the latter were Sp. microgyrata, the former 

 Sp. vincenti. 



SPIROCH^TA PSEUDOPALLIDA. 



(Mulzer, 1905.) 



This name was given by Mulzer to spirochaetes closely 

 resembling Sp. pallida, but not identical with it, found 

 in sores on the genital organs. He thinks this is the 

 same organism as was seen by Kiolomenoglou and Cube 

 and by them described as Sp. pallida. 



SPIROCH^ETA BRONCHIALIS. 



(Castellani, 1907.) 



Castellani found spirochaetes in cases of Haemorrhagic 

 Bronchitis occurring in Ceylon. He noted the presence 

 of four different lands: (i) a thick form, with irregular 

 curls, measuring 1 5 to 30^ ; (2) a form like Sp. refringens; 

 (3) a thin delicate form with tapering ends and small 

 curls ; and (4) another thin form with fewer curls. He 

 speaks of an acute and a chronic bronchial spirochaetosis. 



Waters also found spirochaetes associated with febrile 

 bronchitis, and Branch noted two kinds in the sputum 

 of a tuberculous patient (along with tubercle bacilli) 

 one resembling Sp. pallida and the other like Sp. 

 refringens. 



Bertarelli and Volpius found spirochaetes resembling 

 Sp. buccalis and others resembling Sp. pallida, but stain-
