Bacteriology. 448 INFECTIVE DISEASES. wounds, sores and pricks of thorns, and that the points of the thorns of the Acacia Arahica have been found embedded in the diseased parts. The disease is common among the agricultural class, and in 90 per cent, of the cases observed in the Hyderabad Civil Hospital it occurred in the hands and feet. Vandyke Carter was the first to point out the resemblance to actinomycosis, and he believed that the two varieties of the disease, the black and the white, were the result of the growth of a mycelial fungus, Ghionyphe C'arteri. Kanthack pointed out, that if portions of the growth were placed in ether or chloroform, and afterwards well washed in. Fiti. 183.—P.\ET OF Human Foot with Madura Disease. caustic potash, small rounded bodies were left, which showed rays under the microscope closely resembling the appearances in actino- mycosis, and that the reaction of the fungus to staining reagents was identical with actinomyces. Hewlett examined sections from the disease in the foot, and also found filaments and clubs. Boyce and Surveyor examined a number of cases, and care- fully studied the fungus in the black and white varieties of the disease. In the black variety the particles were found to vary greatly in size, from that of a grain of gunpowder to that of a marble. If the particles were boiled for from a few minutes to one hour in concentrated caustic potash, and then transferred to distilled water, the brown eoloui'iua; matter was removed and a.
