Observations on the relation between flower color and insects, E. M. East 

 and R. W. Glaser (Psyche, 21 (1914), No. 1, pp. 27-30).— In experiments with 

 10 average plants of each of the 4 colors, white, yellow, red, and purple, it was 

 found that 39.1 per cent of the white, 18.12 per cent of the yellow, 15.21 per 

 cent of the red, and 10.74 per cent of the purple flowers were fertilized. The 

 authors estimate that about 6 per cent of the pollination of colored types was 

 made by night flyers (Sphingida?, etc.) while during the same period these 

 insects pollinated from 20 to 25 per cent of the white type.

 280). — The results of the authors' experiments in the spring of 1913 to deter- 

 mine whether birds carry the spores of the blight fungus are summarized as 

 follows : The spores of the blight fungus carried by birds are pycnospores and 

 not ascospores ; the maximum numbers are carried during the few days follow- 

 ing rain periods; and the pycnospores carried are brushed off from either the 

 normal or diseased bark, or both, in the movements of the birds over these 

 surfaces.
