Vol. XI. But previous to his announcement, in 1892 Kirchner (2) already remark- 

 ed in his paper about the subgenus as follows : " Meine Vermutung, dass er zu 

 der Gattung Ceratophonmi Sacc. gehore, wurde auf meine Anfrage in liebenswiir- 

 digster W'eise von den Herren Dr. DeTom und Prof. Saccardo in Padua besta- 

 tigt, mit dem Bemerken, dass der Pilz als eine neue Art in die von Saccardo noch 

 nicht veroffentlichte Sektion Pleiochaeta (mit 2 oder mehr Boi'sten an der Spitze 

 der Conidien) zu stellen sei."

6. Cultural Characters of the Causal Fungus 



The fungus is easily isolated by transferring small pieces of the diseased 

 tissue on the poured plates of the host-leaf decoction agar. I have kept growing 

 the causal fungus thus isolated from three different hosts for the sake of compari- 

 son. But tho.se three strains showed the same features in their cultural characters. 

 The cultural media which we have used are the slants in test tubes containing 

 corh-nieal agar, apricot-decoction agar and host-leaf-decoction agar, and also the 

 soy-agar-plate in the Flrlenmeyer's flasks. 



Although I have kept the fungus under observation for a year, I have not 

 succeeded in producing the ascospore stage and even the conidia are rarely pro-
