Sporules. either the sporules of the penicilium glaucum,or those of the sugar fungus—the torulae cere-visiae. Dr. Hassall communicated to the Medi-cal and Chirurgical Society an important paper,which was published in the 36th volume of the Transactions, 1853, On the Development ofTorulae in the Urine, in which he demon-strated very clearly the distinction between thesporules developed in albuminous, and thosein saccharine urine. These sporules are de-veloped in urine in which the quantity of sugaris so minute that the copper test fails to detectit; and, therefore, the formation of those torulaeor germs has been suggested as a test for sugar Fig. Torulae cerevisiae. in the urine when the quantity may be toominute for the chemical agency to determineits presence. The sporules of the peniciliumglauoum, arising in albuminous urine, are veryeasily distinguished from those of the torulaecerevisiae. Dr. HassaUs paper is illustratedwith drawings tracing these growths from the 296 THE URINE.

They mayboth occur in the same urine, however. The Fig. 21. Ova.
