FUNGI IMPERFECT I 



the bacillus described by Sawtschenko, in 1896, as the causal agent 

 of a pseudo-mycetomatous condition may also belong to this genus, 

 and it is also possible that the Coccohacillus pseudo-actinomycosis 

 polymorphus Berestneff, 1898, may be the same as the chromogenic 

 anaerobic streptothrix obtained from human pus by Neschezadi- 

 menko in 1908.
