fungus grown. The condition lasted several months. Potassium 

 iodide was given, and later, owing to the symptoms of iodism, various 

 arsenical preparations. Castellani has recorded a case of broncho- 

 mucormycosis due to Mucor mucedo, in the Balcanic Zone. 



General Mucormycosis.' — One case only is on record — that of Paltauf. 

 The patient during life presented fever, slight jaundice, enlargement of the 

 spleen and liver, with signs of diffuse bronchitis and obscure nervous symptoms. 

 At the post-mortem the brain presented several foci of a friable, yellowish 

 substance; the other internal organs showed nodules of various size, some 

 rather hard; others had undergone a purulent change. In all these formations 

 mycelial threads were found ; in the lung-nodules fructifications (sporangia) were 

 also present, which enabled Paltauf to determine the fungus as Lichtheimia 

 corymbifera. According to him, the infection must have originated from the 

 intestine, which showed several ulcerative lesions containing the same fungus.
