REPORT OF THE SOCIETY 137 



The Saltation is similar to the others in every respect, except that no 

 sclerotia develop on artifical media, and, as far as coloration is concerned more 

 yellow than amethyst usually occurs. 



This article is an abridgment of a thesis taken under Dr B, T. Dickson 

 in the Department of Botany, Macdonald College, and submitted to the 

 Graduate School of McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements 

 for the degree of M. Sc. 



In conclusion the writer wishes to express his appreciation to Dr. B. T. 

 Dickson for his valuable advice, and for kindly direction and criticism.
