Summary.— A case of tinea nigra occurring in a Caucasoid girl aged 10 is described. The infection was probably contracted in Malaya where she had lived between the ages of 2 and 4½. The course of the infection was chronic and protracted, with a tendency to recur after apparent cure. The mycological features are described and the aetiology is discussed.
