EXPLANATION OP TERMS USED IN SPOROPHORE TABLE XVI. 



In Table XVI most of the headings are self-explanatory; however, there are a few 

 that need special explanation. The heading for the sixth column is " Inoculum and 

 date of inoculation." Under this heading the character of the inoculum used when 

 sphorophores were produced is given, as well as the date or dates when each tube 

 which produced sphorophores was inoculated. "Wood" means the inoculum used 

 was infected wood; "tissue" means pieces of sphorophore tissue, while "malt," 

 "potato," etc., signifies that mycelium, was used as an inoculum and that it was 

 taken from a cultiu-e on malt agar, potato agar, etc. " Inoculum as used means 

 the piece of wood, tissue, etc., used to inoculate the media. " Development period of 

 sporophores" means the number of days from the time the inoculation was made to 

 the first evidence of the formation of a hymenium.
