gillus flavus, niger u. fumigatus \ Eurotium repens (u. Aspergillus 
glaucus) und ihre Beziehungen zu Otomycosis Aspergillina. Inaug. 
Diss. Wiesbaden. 1883) and is judged undeterminable from the 
information given by Wehmer (Zur Kenntnis einiger Aspergillus- 
Arten. Centralbl. Bakt. II. 18: 394-395. 3 fig. 1907.) Robin's figures 
represent A . fumigatus much more closely than A . niger. 
A, Ndlting Hallier, Zeitschr. Parasit. (not found) cited by Cattaneo 
and Oliva in Arch. Lab. Bot. Critt. Garovaglio 5: 122. 1888. The 
conidia are described as yellowish. Other data are lacking but A. 
flavus alone of the organisms reported from the human ear commonly 
shows yellowish conidia. 
S. olivacea van Tieghem, Bull. Soc. Bot. France 24: 103. 1877. 
The data given are ''common," "heads olive-green" and "on cochi- 
neal"; it must be dropped for lack of information. 
A. olivaceus Preuss, Linnaea 25: 77. 1852. Schroeter (Cohn, 
Krypt. Schles. 3-: 216. 1893) notes that this description does not 
separate Preuss 's material from A. fumigatus Fresenius. 
A. penicilloides Spegazzini, Rev. Agrar. Veter. La Plata, p. 245. 
1896. The description of this species might place it near to A. fumi- 
gatus. The organism was obtained from sugar-cane in Argentina. 
We have recently received a culture from Owen, in Louisiana, which 
probably represents the form described by Spegazzini but is not 
closely related to A. fumigatus. 
S. prasina Bainier, Bull. Soc. Bot. France 27: 31. 1880. This 
form is not recognizable from Bainier 's description. It might have 
been a strain of A. nidulans. 
S. pseudo-nidulans Vuillemin, Arch. Parasitologic 8: 540-542. 
1904. Vuillemin transfers the ascosporic form described by Grijns 
as A. fumigatus in Centralbl. Bakt. 11. 11: 330. 1903, to this specific 
name, amending Grijns's description by indicating the double nature 
of the band by which he separates his form A. nidulans as described 
by Eidam. The discussion by Vuillemin tallies with the commonest 
of our American soil forms of this group. 
A. pusillus Massee, Kew Bull. Misc. Inf. 4: 158. 1914. From 
the description this is a very small gray colony from soil in Africa, 
which would be readily distinguished from other members of the 
group. A relationship to the A. fumigatus series is possible.
