AB - A CONTRIBUTION TO THE BOTANY OF THE ORGANISM OF BLASTOMYCOSIS. * R 0 sse. W HIT MAN. (Fromlhc Department o] Pathology, University of Colorado, Denner, Colorado.) Through the kindness of Dr. Charles A. Powers, I have been able during the past year to study the lesions from a fatal case of systemic blastomycosis, and certain of my observations seem to have an important bearing on the disputed questions in regard to botanical relations of the organism. Briefly, I believe that I have observed the ascus of the organism, and that I have thus been enabled to determine the true botanical position of the plant within fairly well defined limits-limits which, it is hoped, will be still more sharply defined by the results of further observations now in progress. A brief review of the history of the controversy will best serve to define the questions at issue. The first authentic case of blastomycosis was studied and reported independently by Busse' and by Buschke- in 1894-6. In 1898 Gilchrist- and Stokes reported the first American case. The organisms in these cases presented certain differences, and are probably not identical. That of Busse and Buschke has been assigned to the saccharomycetes by
