228 abstracts: phytopathology 



The report is based on the determination of about 3200 specimens 

 collected. These have been deposited in the mycological collections of 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry, and most of them are duplicated in the 

 herbarium of the University of Texas. Each specimen is referred to by 

 number in the text. 



For convenience of reference the diseases are grouped under ten head- 

 ings: fruit trees, small fruits, truck crops, cereals, forage crops, wild 

 and cultivated grasses, fiber plants, trees and shrubs, ornamental plants, 

 and wild plants. Under each group the several crops are arranged 

 alphabetically with their several maladies. The fact that the territory 

 has been previously little explored has resulted in the finding of a large 

 number of new fungi, which have been described by the authors in 

 Mycologia, vol. 3, (1911), pp. 5 to 22. An index to literature of 51 

 titles is appended. W. A. Orton.
