Abstract
ALTHOUGH observations on the colouring matter produced by Trichophyton rubrum had been made by Tate in 19291, and were verified and extended by Thompson2, no attempt to isolate and identify the pigments involved has been recorded in the literature. A more systematic examination of these pigments is therefore being carried out in this laboratory.
