Florentin. 1892; syn. Otomyces Hageni Hallier, Zeitschr. Parasit. i: 
195. 1869; and 2: 22, 233, and 259. pi. 5. 1870. In the latter* 
article the descriptions are inadequate while the figures given include 
under Otomyces hageni fruiting hyphae which evidently represent 
Mucors, PenicilHa, and probably at least 2 species of Aspergillus. 
This citation is included because most of the pathogenic Aspergilli 
seem to belong to the A. fumigatus or the A. nidulans series. 
A. heterocephalus Spring, Bull. Acad. Sci. Belg. 19: 568. 1852. 
This name was given to colonies in a hen's egg which showed small 
heads globose and large heads columnar. Since no adequate figure 
or description w^as offered it may be discarded as a nomen nudum. 
A. keratitis Ball, Amer. Med. 2: 31. 1901. This organism was 
found in an ulcer in the human cornea. No adequate description was 
given . 
A, lignieresi Cost. & Lucet, Ann. Sci. Nat. IX. Bot. 2: 137. pi. 5. 
figs. 19-23. 1905. This culture from the lung of a penguin differs 
in cultural details from typical A . fumigatus, especially by the presence 
of swollen groups of cells in the mycelium. 
A. matignus Lindt, Arch. Exp. Path. Pharm. 25: 256-271. figs, 
i-ii. 1889. While the description of this form is more or less in- 
complete and does not mention calyptriform heads, ascospore forma- 
tion closely similar to . that described by Lindt has been found by us 
in cultures with conidial fruits duplicating typical A. fumigatus. 
A. microsporus Boke. The description and figures given by 
Cattaneo and Oliva in Arch. Lab. Bot. Critt. Garovaglio 5: 123. 
pi. 6. fig. 9. 1888, have been seen. No earlier or more complete 
description has been found. The organism was obtained from the 
human ear and has been listed as A. fumigatus but Wehmer (Monogr. 
p. 88) notes that the heads are figured as radiate, not calyptrate. 
The identity of Boke's form must remain doubtful. 
5. minor Bainier, Bull. Soc. Bot. France 27: 30. 1880. The 
description as given is not sufficient to separate this from A. nidulans. 
S. nidulans Eidam, Beitr. Biol. Pflanzen Cohn 3: 392-411. pi. 21, 
22. 1879. A characteristic and cosmopolitan form discussed p. 96. 
A. nidulans var. Nicollei Pinoy, Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris 
144: 396. 1907. This variety was found fruiting within human 
tissue in a subject affected with "Madura-foot." 
A. nigrescens Robin, Histoire Naturelle des Vegetaux Parasites, 
p. 518. atlas, pi. 5. fig. 2. Paris. 1853. The organism of Robin 
has been called A. niger by Wilhelm (Beitrage zur Kenntnis der
