The nature of the ringworm flora of Birmingham over 17 years was investigated and tabulated by species, geographical distribution and concentration.

The rise and fall of such outbreaks as occurred has been charted.

The persistent preponderance of zoophilic species, in spite of the recent decline in over-all incidence, has been demonstrated.
