stalk, but simply attaching to the wall of oogonia at an arbitrary 

 point, and (3) in its obligate parasitic nature. The conidium of 

 Kawakamia is often reported to bear a collar cell at the basal 

 end, but Sawada found this as a mere thickening of the wall, 

 which is more prominent in Kawakamia than in Phytophthora.

T. 5, xi, Nov. 1916. (Japanese.) 



Perithecia cylindric, simple or branched, with enlarged spher- 

 ical apex containing asci, wall fungoid-parenchymatous in tex- 

 ture ; asci clavate, tapering at both ends when fully matured, 6-8- 

 spored, 30-45 X 10-12 /x; ascospores oblong or fusoid, not acutely 

 pointed at both ends but rather blunt, 3-septate, fuscous, 10- 

 15X4-5 /*• 



Saprophytic on fruits of Citrus grandis (pummelo), forming 

 irregular patches of thin felt of dirty blackish color, which only 

 reflect the light slightly. In culture, hyphae and a form of 

 conidia developed, which are not sufficiently worked out to prove 

 whether they belong to a generation of this species or something 

 else. Hyphae thus formed are at first whitish, then turn to the 

 characteristic sooty color, plentiful, branching, septate, 3-5 /x 

 across ; upright hyphae resume a role of conidiophores, producing 

 catenulate conidia at the end ; conidia ellipsoid or ovoid, both 

 ends rounded, smooth, continuous, 10-17 X S~7 1 1 - 



The crust is distinctly lighter in color than that of Capnodium 

 salicinum and lacks the luster almost entirely. Microscopic char- 

 acters are also distinct. No species resembling this has hitherto 

 been described. 



Illustrations : One woodcut and 1 black and white half tone fig- 

 ure showing the details of the fungus. 



Note : The type material was collected by Tanaka at Kajiya, 

 Yoshihama-mura, Kanagaa-ken, Nov. 7, 1909.
