“…Benham (1934) found large, thick-walled, non-budding cells in cultures a month or more old, which had begun to dry. Cox & Tolhurst (1946) observed that in vitro occasional large cells had thick walls but that the smaller micro-organisms were uniformly thin-walled.…”

“…The rounded contour is gradually reassumed." Benham (1934), in describing Cryptococcus hominid, says "in old cultures of a month or more which have begun to dry, large, thick-walled nonbudding cells filled with granules may be seen." Many other writers describe what they call thick-walled resting cells in old cultures.…”

In studying the characteristics of several strains of the organism commonly called Torulk histolytica, some rather prominent structures were noted, the significance of which seems to have been overlooked in previous descriptions. The study of the nature of these bodies disclosed a sequence of changes in morphology which necessitates a revision of the classification of at least some of the members of this group. One of the strains studied was isolated on four occasions from the spinal fluid of a patient in the University of Iowa Hospitals. This man had symptoms indicative of lesions in the central nervous system for two years prior to admission in 1934. In January, 1936, his disturbance had neither progressed nor subsided. Another strain was recovered from the spinal fluid of a patient in the Minneapolis General Hospital in 1935. His illness, from onset to death in three months, was characterized by symptoms referable to the central nervous system and at necropsy these tissues exhibited typical lytic lesions. We are indebted to Dr. A. T. Henrici and Dr. N. H. Lufkin for the culture and history of this latter case. OBSERVATIONS Cultures of these two strains of organisms, when studied in the ordinary fashion, exhibited all of the described characteristics of Torula: reproduction by budding, no mycelium formed and glucose alone fermented, and without gas formation. However, 89

“…More than 20 years later, in 1934 and 1935, both Rhoda Benham of Columbia University in New York27, 28 and Jacomina Lodder at the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures in Delft [149, pp. 152–159] pointed out that many yeasts, hitherto given different names, clearly belonged to the same species.…”
