humidity of the atmosphere on the rate of growth of Monilia. An oiled paper bag, 
containing a 4 molar potassium chloride solution, was suspended over the culture 
that shows the least growth, while distilled water was suspended over the culture 
that made the greatest growth. The series of six cultures shows the effect of drying 
the air over the mycelium to different degrees.
