IN THE past few years several efforts have been made to correlate the fungus species with the clinical manifestations of the superficial mycoses. Among these studies have been the work of Lewis, Montgomery and Hopper¹ on the clinical manifestations of Trichophyton purpureum and that of Montgomery and Caspar² on the clinical manifestations of Tricophyton purpureum, T. gypseum and Candida albicans.

In a previous paper,³ we reported on a study of 1,000 veterans with in-service diagnoses of superficial mycoses, 466 of whom had fungous infections as proved by laboratory examination. Of these, 416, or 87.1 per cent, showed dermatophytosis, and 13 (3 per cent), moniliasis.
