Summary
1. Granule formation byCandida albicans in the internal organs of experimental animals is described. This appears to be the first time such an observation has been made.
2. Ring formation by fungi under different conditions is cited, and although different explanations have been proposed by different authors, the supposition is made that a common growth pattern is involved.
