Accounts of No. 2. Much difeafed flraw, bloom or mould under the 



whelTgath°/rttl {heath » and on the Ieaf 5 in other refpecls the flraw quite as 

 ia this enquiry, healthy and found as No. ]. 



No. 3. Entirely difeafed, yet every grain full and of its 

 proper fize — fome grains evidently opened at their fides by 

 fome fmall infecl. The outfide of this ear quite green and 

 healthy, not even a fpbt, fmell of the ear very fiAiy, not 

 wanting one grain. The head ftalk not even waved at the 

 ear, root intire, upper ftalk a little yellow. 



No, 4. A healthy ear of the bearded, thirteen rows of grains, 

 flraw mouldy under the ftieath, and at joints, yet found, laft 

 or upper joint green. 



No. 5. Another nearly fimilar. 



No. 6. A double ftraw to one root, both ears perijec^, botfy 

 ftraight at head flalk, both difeafed, yet full and plump | 

 fome grains found yet green, and clofe to a black one ; a rich 

 golden coloured mofs or duft at the back of the green coat, 

 yet the grain coat perfectly green and uninjured, while the 

 grain was compleatly full of the black fimy-fmelling bligh^ 

 inftead of flour. Straws green at the top and quite healthy 

 throughout. 



No. 7. A flraw that having been blighted in the (heath by 

 the early blight, had thrown off all its brown duft, and grown 

 to a flrong flraw : The f^eleton of the ear only remaining, 

 very crooked near the ear : The upper flalk evidently by its 

 purple firipes difeafed under the f*in, yet no mofs or fungus 

 protruded on the cane ; Gripping back the firft leaf from the 

 bead, I found the powder from the ear had adhered to the. 

 flraw under the (heath, and that it was mouldy : The fecond 

 joint quite healthy under the leaf, but with the red an.d purple 

 tfreaks where uncovered to the light : The third joint the 

 fame ; The {heath leaves them (elves healthy. 



No. 8. Spotted ear externally, found flraw, yet having 

 black duft at the joints, in this ear I found a maggot about the 

 30th part of an inch long, of the exaft yellow of the powder 

 found behind the difeafed grains, (that powder may be his 

 excrement) viz. orange yellow, his form refembled the maggot, 

 of nuts, lived an houT on the table. 



No. 9. Difeafed ear, grains all blighted yet no yellow 

 powder under the (heaths of the grains, ftraw healthy, ear 

 iifhy fmell.
