beri respectively. It seems more likely that all these blast fungi 



belong to Piricularia rather than Dactylaria, as they are provided 



with solitary conidia which are produced at the end of more or 



less elongate, spike-like conidiophores, which can never be termed 



capitate, as was pointed out by Nishikado (1. c, p. 210). S. Ito, 



therefore, suggested the new combination of Sawada's three new 



species as Piricularia Panicipaludosi, Piricularia Leersiae, and 



Piricularia Costi (Bot. Mag., Tokyo 32^82. 307-308. Japanese. 



Oct. 1918).
