BETTS : THE FUNGI OF THE BEE-HIVE. 143 
Aspergillus glaucus, Link. 
This species is frequent in hives, especially after the death of 
the colony. : : 
The dimensions of my specimens agree well with those given 
for Aspergillus glaucus. The conidiophores are from 0.5 mm. to 
over I mm. in height, and 5-10 (average 8 «4; an exceptional one 
as much as 15 pm) in thickness. The inflated apex is spherical, 
25-40 pw in diameter. The sterigmata are oval or bottle-shaped,

10 x 4 p; they cover most of the surface of the sphere, and are 
directed radially outwards (Fig. 11). The conidia are elliptical or 
subglobose, 10-6 x 8-4 mu (in old cultures some are irregular in shape, 
cf. Mangin, 21, p. 337): They have a projection at one end where 
the adjoining conidium was attached, are echinulate, and greenish in 
colour (Fig. 11). The perithecia are of the usual Eurotium type, 
and are produced plentifully in most cultures. They are globose or
