SUMMARY. A method is described for the isolation and culture of the causative organisms of trichomycosis axillaris. Hairs from 7 cases, 6 of the yellow variety and one of the red, have been examined. Three species of Corvnebacteria were isolated from each of the 6 cases and 2 were isolated from the seventh. The species from the cases with the red granules were similar to those isolated from those with the yellow granules. It was concluded from these results that it was unjustifiable to refer to the causative agent of this disease as a single agent such as C. tenuis.
