SUMMARY: The morphology is described of two species of filamentous oral bacteria, both of which have in the past been accorded the same name, Leptotrichia buecalis. Although these have certain characters in common, it is concluded that they are entirely distinct. Both show signs of a residual life-cycle, suggesting a remote relationship with more complex saprophytes.
