Excerpt from The Microscope, 1892, Vol. 12: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine for the Student of Nature's Little Things
Microooocus oromrsns (raovxsronu. Name, perhaps), N. S. Oocci, very large, oval, oblong, or less frequently spherical, with a bright spore or nucleus variously placed; light translucent bodies with a very thin cell wall and clearish contents. Measure ments of those of circular outlines 4,rarely 5,u, in diameter; of the ovals 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, in longest diameter, rare individuals much longer, by 3, 4, 511 wide, or slightly more or less; the very longest specimens often contain two or three nuclei, but no chain-like forms; sometimes none of these would be seen in a dense field of the cocci. This is decidedly the largest, most bold-looking Micrococcus I have yet seen or have read of. It is magnificent. At first I thought I had large fields full of some mould spores. It occurs singly, often so numerous in old rot ting onion bulbs as to fill the field of the microscope very densely in a single layer. It appears soon after the Bacterium refringente, also in the water-mounted slides kept for several days.
