They were therefore cases of favns. From the thirdpatient I isolated Trichophyton violaceum var. decalvans, original growth on glucose agar was very slow, with humidsurface and of a violet colour. The subcultures of Sabourauds agarwere of a greyish colour with a violet spot. Mycologically it showscomparatively thick mycelia with short septation, sometimes withlateral conidia. Chlamidospores are also present, and rosary-likemycelial articles with double contour are seen (Fig. 3). Culturally,therefore, the fungus is practically identical with Trichoiohyton vio-laceum, Bodiuj of temperate zones, but the lesions it gives rise to are. Fig. 3.—Tinea decalvans var. decalvans, drop culture. so totally different that, at least biologically, it muSt be considered tobe a different variety (var. decalvans, Castellani). Conclusions. (1) According to my researches, the commonest type of eczemamarginatum (tinea cruris sen inguinalis) met with in Japan andManchuria is caused by Einderinophyton ruhrum, Castellani, 1909.
