    named Acliorion Schonleinii, and occurs in small patches. At first these patches are somewhat red in colour, and the hair ■upon them looks dull and dry. They afterwards become scaly, assume a yellow colour, and, from being fixed in the centre, have a cupped appearance. When the yellow crusts are removed, the surface below is greasy, and may have a mouse-like smell Fig. 7.—Acliorion Schonleinii. The crusts, on microscopic examination, are found to con- sist of the mycelium and spores, with epithelial cells, pus cells, and granular debris. In order to obtain a clear view of the parasitic growth, a piece of one of the crusts is to be soaked in water containing some liquor potassae before examination. It will be found, as in Fig. 7, to consist of long branching filaments of elongated bodies united to form rows, and of small spores.
