546 Report of Mycologist of Experiment Station. 



Prof. Peck has kindly given me permission to publish his techni- 

 cal description of the fungus. It is as follows : 



Phyllosticta limitata, n. sp. Spots small, obricular, commonly one to three lines 

 broad, sometimes confluent, brown or reddish-brown, occasionally becoming 

 gray or having a grayish center, often sterile, definitely limited and surrounded 

 by a narrow, slightly elevated brown or blackish-brown margin, perithecia 

 epiphyllous, few, minute, punctiform, black ; spores elliptical, .0003 in. long, 

 .00016 broad. 



Living leaves of apple tree, Pyrus malus. Westbury, Long Island. June. 

 F. C. Stewart. 



The three applications of Bordeaux mixture recommended ^ for 

 apple scab will probably keep the leaf-spot in check.
