tifications grow which become large by early winter. The 
collections which I have studied, made during fall and early 
winter, have been in vegetative rather than in fruiting stage. 
On the other hand, some specimens of Septobasidium in 
herbaria have no seals insects on the portions of twigs bear- 
ing the fructifications of Septobasidium, but I can not say 
as to whether these fructifications made their start on clean 
twigs or on scattered scale insects which they have сош- 
pletely overgrown and destroyed.
