 ed in his paper about the suhc^enu.s as follows: " Meine VennutuiiLj, dass er zu 

 der Gattung Ccratophoniin Sacc. gehöre, wurde auf meine Anfrage in liebenswür- 

 dig.stcr W'ei.se von den Herren Dr. DeToni und l'rof. S.\cc.\Rno in Padua bestä-

 nicht veröffentlichte Sektion Pleiochaeta (mit 2 oder mehr Borsten an der .Spitze 

 der Conidien) zu stellen sei."

6. Cultural Characters of the Causal Fungus 



The fungus is easily isolated by transferring small pieces of the diseased 

 tissue on the poured plates of the host-leaf decoction agar. I have kept growing 

 the causal fungus thus isolated from three different hosts for the .sake of compari- 

 son. But tho.sc three strains showed the same features in their cultural characters. 

 The cultural media which we have used are the slants in test tubes containing 

 corn-meal agar, apricot-decoction agar and host-leaf-decoction agar, and also the 

 soy-agar-plate in the Krlenineyer's flasks. 



Although I have kept the fungus under observation for a )'ear, I have not 

 succeeded in producing the ascospore stage and even the ctinidia are rarely pro-
