Phytosis cikcinata:—tinea circinata; ringworm of the non-hairy skin. Water-colour study of phytosis circinata. The upper patch was seated on the temple of a lad 13 years of age, the lower on the thigh of a boy of twelve. Both present inner rings indicative of stages of growth, and the lower patch exhibits a chain of small rings originating in sepa- rate centres of development. The constituents of the patches are a narrow papulated border or ring, more or less red, and a tawny wrinkled area marked with papular rings or scattered papulae. 'i8. Coloured lithograph, exhibiting a variety of the ring-like patches of phytosis circinata. The same general characters are apparent in all. One of the series of Portraits of Diseases of the Skin. 429. Plaster cast of the side of the neck of a young married woman, showing an oblong ring of phytosis circinata. In the smaller patches the area is usually plane and free from scattered papulae and papular rings. 430. Plaster cast of part of the thigh of a little boy, 12 years of age; the patch of phytosis circinata is circular in figure, the marginal ring but faintly papulated, the epidermis of the area finely wrinkled; while in the cir- cumference of the area are seen the vestiges of several minor rings. 431. Plaster cast of the shoulder of a little girl, 6 years of age, showing two annular patches of phytosis circinata. Within the area of the large patch may be seen the outline of an earlier ring with scalloped border. This child was also the subject of phytosis tonsurans. 432. Model of the forearm and part of the upper region of the breast, showing patches oi phytosis circinata, or, as termed by Bazin, under whose direc- tion the patient was treated, herpes circinatus, the word herpes being- used, not in the English and Willanean sense of a large vesicle, but in the primitive sense of creeping, therefore—a creeping eruption.
