By a very high magnifying power these movingfilaments are resolved into a series of granular particles arrangedin line. 2. Mould fungus or Peniciliumglaiicum.—Like other organicfluids, urine is liable to mildew. Dr. Hassall has shown thaturine may mould from the growth of two distinct, thoughclosely allied, vegetations. The first of these is the peniciliumglaucum, or common mould which grows in vinegar and allalbuminous fluids ; and the second is the yeast or sugar funguswhich flourishes in diabetic urine. The mould fungus may be found in urine in the threephases of its development, namely, as round and oval cells orsporules ; as an interlacement of fibres, or thallus; and as adowny pile of threads growing into the air, or aerial fructifica-tion. This last phase is, however, not seen unless the urinehas been kept several days (see Figs. 37 & 38).. Fig. Mould fungus. Sporules and thallus. The sporules often appear in urine a few hours after is important to be familiar with their microscopic appear-ance to avoid confounding them with blood disks. The marksby which they are distinguished are : the great difference ofsize among the individual cells ; the presence of a nucleus inthe larger sporules ; their tendency to assume an elongated oroval form ; and the indications of budding and commencingformation of a thallus. M 162 ORGANIC DEPOSITS. The interlacing fibres of thethallus are produced by theelongation and gemmation of the sporules, and are composed
