 lachrymans. There is an exudate at the point inoculated (upper part of fruit), while 

 the remainder of the fruit is sound. 



Fig, 2. — Same fruit as shown in figure i, but at the end of 12 days. The fruit, 

 which was slowly ripening, was still sound both externally and within, except at the 

 point inoculated.

 lachrymans (6 days at 24° and 4 days at 30° C). Not from the same series as figures
