according to the nourishing material ; the fruit hypha 

 bears terminally a number of branched cylindrical cells, 

 from which chains of greenish conidia are developed 

 (Plate XXIX., Fig. 7). It is the commonest of all 

 moulds. 



Botrytis Bassiana. Hyphae and spores colour- 

 less. Hyphae usually simple, but sometimes united in 

 arborescent stems (Plate XXIX., Fig. n), It is the 

 cause of muscardine, a fatal disease of silkworms, and 

 occurs also in various other caterpillars and insects.

Chionyphe Carter!. Mycelium, penetrating the 

 skin and subcutaneous tissue, sets up suppuration and

APPENDIX B. 



FLAGELLATED PROTOZOA IN THE BLOOD.* 



WHEN examining blood the bacteriologist must be pre- 

 pared to meet with minute organisms which at the first 

 glance under moderate amplification may be mistaken for 

 vibrionic or spiral forms of bacteria. The organisms 

 referred to belong not to the vegetable, but to the animal 

 kingdom. They may occur associated with disease, but 

 they appear to be more commonly found in the blood of 

 apparently perfectly healthy animals. 



Flagellated organisms in the blood of rats 

 and hamsters. Lewis')" described peculiar organisms 

 in the blood of healthy rats in India. When first noticed
