Shear, C, L. and A. K. Wood. Ascogenous forms of G/o^os/)o- 

 rium and Colletotrichum. (Bot. Gaz. XLIII. p. 259—266. 1907.) 



Conidial and ascogenous forms of Gloeosporium and Colletotri- 

 chum were studied from eight different hosts as follows: Gloeospo- 

 rium rufomaciüans (Berk.) v. Thümen from Vitis sp. , G. Jructigenum 

 Berk. from apple; an unnamed Gloeosporium from Vaccinium macro- 

 carpum ; G. elasticae Cooke and Massee from Ficus elastica ; a form 

 from Gleditschia triacanthos; one from Gi)ikgo bilboa; Colletotrichum 

 gossypii ^o\\\h. from Gossypiuni; G. lindeniuthiainim (Sacc. & Magnus) 

 ßri. & Cav. from the cultivated bean. Of these only the one from 

 the apple has its ascogenous form reported heretofore. Sterilized 

 corn meal was the most fruitful culture medium. Considerable doubt 

 is expressed as to wheter all of the above forms are distinct mor- 

 phological or physiological species or even varieties. R. J. Pool.
