tches of Miss X gave, on maltosed agar, on glucosedagar, on beer-wort agar, and on placenta-glucosed agar, abso-lutely identical growths. On beer-wort agar (made by addingone-and-one-half per cent, of agar-agar to the sterilized and fil-tered beer-wort obtained from a brewery, neutralized and found tocontain about four per cent, of maltose) the most abundant andstriking cultures were obtained. In Erlenmeyer flasks, kept atroom temperature, the growth showed itself on the fourth day asa downy tuft which rapidly spread radially, the hyphse being verycoarse and hairy. About the tenth day the center became decid-edly yellow. At the end of two weeks, the culture presented itsmost typical appearance and might be described as a large, flat,circular, silky growth with a central button around which was adepressed chamois colored area. Around this was an elevatedwhite zone, surrounded by another brownish-yellow circle. Themargin was a delicate feathery fringe with a decided tangential ! • ! -
