Abstract
SIR ALDO CASTELLANI'S latest contribution to medical mycology is based on a course of lectures delivered by him in 1926 as Adolph Gehrmann Lecturer of the University of Illinois College of Medicine. It is well recognised that the advent of the bacteriological era retarded considerably the development of mycology in its relationship to disease of man and animals, and even now, in spite of our vastly increased knowledge of pathological conditions associated with fungi, the systematic classification and nomenclature of these fungi have been the concern of but few professional mycologists. Castellani has worked largely in this field and he has been able to combine with considerable success his well-known clinical interest and experience of tropical skin diseases of fungous origin with studies of the fungi concerned.
