SACCHAROMYCES APICULATUS (EEESS). (Fig. 78.) 



According to our present views, the name of this ferment is 

 incorrect, for only those budding-fungi which yield endogenous 



FIG. 78. Saccharomyces apiculatus (after HANSEN). Budding cells : a a", a cell 

 which in the course of 3 hours developed a bud at its lower extremity ; 6 b", a similar 

 series, showing the development of a bud at the upper extremity of the mother cell, 

 whilst a bud had been previously formed at the opposite end ; c is a chain of cells, c' 

 is the same three-quarters of an hour later ; the lowest bud had, like those above it, 

 assumed the typical form of the species, but in the figure it is seen from the end, so 

 that its longitudinal axis is at right angles to the plane of the paper ; d d", develop- 

 ment during 1 % hours ; e e'", during 2 J hours ; //"", during 3 hours ; in e /, it is seen 

 that the oval cells first develop a bud and only subsequently assume the typical 

 lemon-shape ; g m, abnormal cell and series of development. 



spores are considered to belong to the Saccharomycetes, and the 

 fungus in question does not possess this property. We will, 

 however, provisionally retain the old generic name, as has been
