area is diminished. The infection of a paw-paw through a 

 puncture would, however, indicate that this fungus may also play 

 some part as a causal agent of a fruit-rot of the paw-paw. 



Three fungi have been described as causing leaf-spots in 

 the paw-paw; viz., Phoma microsporella, Karst & Har. ; 

 Phyllosticta Papayae, Sacc. and Phyllosticta Caricae-Papayae, 

 Allesch. The fungus dealt with in this paper is referred to 

 thyUosticta Caricac-Papayac, Allesch., the description of which 

 reads: "Maculae subochraceo-pallidae ; perithecia minutissima, 

 nigra; sporulae 3/xto4/xx 1 /x, hyalina. Hab. in foliis vivis 

 Carica Papayae in Brasilia." 



AX EXHIBIT OF STONE IMPLEMENTS FROM TIGER 

 KLOOF AND TAUNGS, OAPE COLONY.

Reac] Jvhi 15, 1920. 



The collection of stone implements, which was exhibited, 

 was obtained from Tiger Kloof and Taungs in the northern part 

 of the Cape Province. The position of the Tiger Kloof deposit 

 was described, and it was considered to be the remnants of a very 

 old river ten-ace, and its implements were essentially similar to 

 those of the Chellean Age in Europe. Old Bushman implements 

 occurred in the overlying deposit, but no' hand-axes, such as came 

 from the gravel beneath, had been found. 



With regard to the Taungs deposit, its occurrence in the 

 valley, where the present river flows, suggests that it is of more 

 recent date than that of Tiger Kloof. From consideration of a 

 number ol implements similar to those of the Acheulian Age in 

 Europe, found in the same section at another level, a subseqvient 

 culture was deduced, this being characterised, by implements of 

 the Mousterian type. 



These finds were considered to establish that development in 

 the art of fashioning tools had proceeded along lines parallel with 

 those in Europe.
