INJURIOUS FUNGI. 



Although primarily concerned with Animal Pests and Animal 

 Diseases, the Department has received numerous inquiries relating to 

 injurious fungi. During 1907, there has been a large increase in the 

 number of such inquiries, and it may therefore be of interest to 

 schedule the more important diseases, which will be treated of later.

Apple Scab or u Black Spot " (Fusicladiiim dcndriticum, Fckl.).
