| Discovery Notes | The phage was collected in a soil sample under some brush outside the entrance of Ogden College Hall. The soil was rather wet and clumped together, but the weather was hot (91 degrees Fahrenheit) and humid. |
| Naming Notes | The phage reminded me of either a spine or a panpipe. Therefore, I named my phage Syrinx because the term has relevance to both observations (the syrinx is a severe spinal disorder, and is also the name of the nymph that was fashioned by Pan into the first panpipes). |
