Most of them are rather common, especially Mucor hiemalis is 
found in all sorts of soil. A few of the above species are, however, 
always found together, most likety because their existence depends 
upon equal external phenomenons; they therefore form an ecological 
Company; f. inst. Mucor ramannianus, strictus, flavus and silvaticus 
are always found together in woods of Pinus silvestris. 
Besides the 4 first species of the soil-Mucors, the following 4 are 
found in the air: Mucor pusillus Lindt., M. circinelloides van Tiegh., 
M. arrhizus (Fisch.) Hagem., Thamnidium elegans Link. 
The author gives detailed descriptions (in German) and excellent 
pictures of the 7 new species and of all the old ones too.

The question, discussed in this paper, is if split cod would not 
be better protected against attacks by Torula epizoa Corda, if 
another sort of salt, less hygroscopical, was used in curing it. The 
author cured 5 pieces of fresh cod, each weighing about 800 Grm. 
with 5 different sorts of salt: Port Said, Torrevieja, Trapani, 
Ibiza and Tunis, infected all with Torula and left them for 43 
days; then he tested their contents of Torula and found, that 
each Cc. brine contained between 16,000 and 120,000 germs of Torula. 
The 5 slices of cod were pressed and hung up for drying for 5 weeks, 
and by this process they got quite a clean and saleable appea- 
rence. As they, howewer, were stored for 24 days in a moist room 
they were all equally studded with black spots of Tonda. Experi¬ 
ments with the different sorts of salt proved their hygroscopicity to 
be about the same, and the final result of all the experiments was, 
that all these sorts of salt were equal, and, that drying the cod for 
5 weeks, was not sufficient to kill its Vegetation of Torula. The 
author also continued his examinations on the origin of this Torula, 
so noxious for the split cod, published in Bergen Museums Aarbog 
1904 Abt: 9, and he maintains that it has its origin in the salt-stores, 
especially the older ones, which are never quite emtied and desin- 
fected, and particularly if some of the salt is dissolved or if flour 
or any other similar substance is spilt on the heaps of salt; in such 
places he would find \ million of Torula-ge rms in every Kilo of 
salt; in well-stored salt only 100 germs were found. Besides Spots 
of Sarcinomyces Islandicus were found on split cod, they were 
however not of the same significance as Tonda.
