 Jan. 13: Aspergilhis fiimigatus, A. nidulans, A. niger, Penicillium 

 diuaricatiiin. 



March 3: Aspergilhis fiirriigatiis, Oidiiim lactis, yeasts. 



As it seemed important to know if any of the moulds isolated 

 from hnman faeces also were present in animal excrement, a few 

 trials of such material were made. Faeces of bear, (Ursiis ameri- 

 caniisj, buffalo (Bison americanus), elk (Alces gigas), monkey and 

 rabbit were obtained from the zoological garden at Woodland 

 Park, Seattle. Faeces of two cold-blooded animals, a species of 

 frog (Hyla regilla) and a lizard (Gerrhonotus principis) were also 

 examined. The results of the examinations are given below. 

 Bear. April 8, 1914: Penicillium avellaneum, n. sp. 

 Monkey. /Vpril 8, 1914: AspergiUus niger, Saccharomyces. 

 Buffalo. x\pril 9, 1914: Penicillium. luteum. 

 Elk. April 9, 1914: AspergiUus flavus, Saccharomyces. 

 Rabbit. April 2, 1915: Rhizopus nigricans. 

 Lizard. April 10, 1914: Penicillium notatum. 

 Frog. April 11, 1914: Penicillium frequentans. 



In addition many typical coprophilous fungi were found, as 

 Thamnidium, Piloboliis, Coprinus, etc.
