Jan. 1008] Notes from Mycological Literature 45 



Lewton-Brain, L. 



A lecture on "Rind Disease of the Sugar Cane" forms Bul- 

 letin' 7, Division of Pathology and Physiology, Experiment Sta- 

 tion of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, in which it is 

 shown that the imperfect fungus in same connection is Melan- 

 conium sacchari. The lecture also illustrates the structure of 

 the Red Rot caused by Colletotrichum falcatum, and besides 

 gives some reasons for thinking that Thielaviopsis ethaceticus 

 and Alelanconium sacchari are different stages of one and the 

 same fungus.
