A, tokelau Wehmer (Wehmer, C). Centralbl. Bakt. I, 35: 140. 1903. 
The measurements given by Wehmer together with the figures given by 
Dubreuihl (Dubreuihl, M. W. Jour. Med. Bordeaux 32: 312. 1902.) 
suggest relationship with the A. flavus group. 
A. umhrinus Patterson (Patterson, Flora W. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 
27: 284. 1900). The original material of A. umhrinus appears to be lost. 
Although probably related to A . Wentii or to ^ . tamari, no material identi- 
fiable by this description has been seen. 
A. variabilis Gasperini (Gasperini, G. Atti Soc. Toscana Nat. Sci. 
Pisa, Mem. 8, fasc. 2 : 326. 1887). From the description, this was probably 
some strain of the A . flavus group. Both large and small heads were found 
in the same colony; the sterigmata were simple or double; the conidia have 
the range of form and size characteristic of the group. Gasperini does not 
appear to have known A. flavus. 
A. Wehmeri Costantin & Lucet. Ann. Sci. Nat. Bot. IX, 2: 162. 1905. 
The name is proposed by Costantin and Lucet for the organism of Brefeld 
and Wehmer described as A . flavus Link by them and so used in this paper. 
The uncertainties in the identification of Link's species do not seem impor- 
tant enough to justify the change of name. A. Wehmeri is to be regarded 
as a synonym of A . flavus. 
A. Wentii Wehmer. Centralbl. Bakt. II, 2: 150. 1895. See also 
Wehmer, Die Pilzgattung Aspergillus, etc., in Mem. Soc. Phys. d'Hist. 
Nat. Geneve 33: 2. Part. 4: 119. 1901. The culture described in the 
text was received from Amsterdam and appears to be the original strain 
investigated by Wehmer.
