low, the older, F. roseum (Lk.) appears to be pre- 

 ferable. An ascom\'cetous fungus has long been known 

 on exposed ears of wheat and on stalks of Zea ma^'S. 

 This has been named Gihhera saubinettii (Mont) Sacc. 

 and Dothiden glumarum B.&C. but the connection be- 

 tween this and the Fusarium appears not to have been 

 recorded, this connection w^as suspected and a series of 

 cultures on nutrient agaragar was undertaken to dis- 

 cover, if possible, the relations of the two. These cul- 

 tures of the spores of the GihhcrcUn saubinettii 

 (Mont) Sacc, uniformily gave an abundant growth of 

 a Fusarium, not distinguishable from that on the ears 

 of wheat; in no case were pcrithecia produced b\' this 

 in the cultures. 



Pcrithecia were discovered seated upon the Fus- 

 arium hyphfE on diseased wheat heads in the fields. 

 It is hence inferred that Gibberella saubinettii (Mont.) 

 Sacc, is the ascigerous or resting stage of the Scab 

 fungus and according to Tulasne Fusarium roseum 

 (Lk.) is the conidial stage of this fungus.

This interesting group of plants has been studied 

 during the past summer in the field and laborator3' by 

 Prof H. L. Jones and m^-self We have found and 

 identified fifty-two species and have on hand consider- 

 able material, which has not been worked over as yet. 

 Considering the small amount of time spent in collect- 

 ing and the fact that the past summer was an excep- 

 tionally poor one for the development of the Shme 

 Moulds, we are led to the conclusion that the county- 

 presents a rich field for work. The following list of 

 genera, with the number of species of each, will show
