Report of the Section of Vegatable Pathology for 1887 Professor 
Scribner records the presence of seta in the acervuli and suggests 
that the species might be placed in the genus Colletotrichum. 
Briosi and Cavara in 1889 made the transfer of the species to that 
genus and the name became Colletotrichum Lindemuthianum (S. 
& M.), Brio. & Cav., and as such is published as No. 50 in “ Briosi 
and Cavara Funghi Parassiti Della Piante Cultivati.” Of special. 
interest in this connection is the statement made by Professor 
FIG. 2.—RIND ROT OF WATERMELON. 
_ Scribner in the Report previously cited that, « In this country the 
disease attacks watermelon rinds as well as beans.” Farlow records 
it as upon the watermelon.* 
Turning now to the Anthracnose of the watermelon shown in 
figure 2, it is found that three species of Gloeosporium are recorded 
for Cucurbitaceous fruits, the G. Lagenarium (Pass.), Sacc. & Roum. 
only requiring attention.
