from one only, frequently from both, and they branched early, 
were attenuated, and ramified in all directions, or remained short 
and thick, resembling and forming secondary conidia (fig. 8).

Microconidia were produced terminally from long and from 
short filaments. Anastomosis between neighbouring filaments 
took place readily, and the drying-up of the hanging drop was a 
signal for the immediate formation of chlamydospores. 
On the whole, cultural evidences pointed strongly to the 
identity of the previous Fusarium from carnation, Nigella, &e., 
with the later Fusarium from cashew nut, although mycelial 
colourings in the cultures of the latter did not seem to 
strongly marked as in the cultures of the former. There could 
be no denial of the likeness between the actual mycelia, conidia, 
chlamydospores, and the methods of conidial formation. The 
first-produced microconidia invariably reminded the writer of the 
numerous microconidia to be found in his previous cultures of the 
carnation strain of the Fusarium, and the macroconidia recalle 
production.
