and photographed. ‘The spores used for inoculation were from 
pure cultures of the fungus on the shoot, and in each case they 
were placed in the pore of the “ fruits.”’ 
Fig. 1. The tissues for about 1:5 cm. diameter around the pore 
visible at X, the diseased tissues are covered by fungus conidio- 
phores. The collapse of the tissues is apparent in the altered 
size and shape of the fig. 
Fig. 3. The entire “fruit”? is enveloped by the conidiophores 
of the fungus and further shrinkage has occurred. 
Fig. 4. The fig is shrivelling to a mummified condition.
