PLATE 3 



Sc Uro tiuni ro l/sti : 



A. — Two colonies in same plate, both apparently of the same sexual strain. No 

 sclerotia formed at the point of union of the two colonies. 



B. — Large sclerotia from inoculated orange. 



C. — Late stage, showing cantaloupe reduced to a mass of mycelium and sclerotia. 



D. — Inoculated cantaloupe fruit, the point of infection being free and away from 

 the bell jar glass. Earlier stage than C. 



E. — Infected cantaloupe, lying close to bell jar at point of infection. This shows 

 the melting away of that part of the fruit in closest contact with the glass, leaving a 

 ragged hole. 



F. — Cross section of an infected cantaloupe, showing penetration of fungus into 

 interior of fruit.
