non-seriate ascospores ellipsoid in shape and usually 7-septate, in 

 size three times as large as the former. Mcliola camelliae and 

 Meliola citri do not agree with the'present species in their bristled 

 perithecia and in the size and shape of the ascospores.

Hemmi points out that the fungus has typically 1 -celled asco- 

 spores, and should correctly be placed under Gloeosporium (sub- 

 gen. Collet otrichum) . In a later publication of the same author 

 (Annals of the Phytopath. Soc. of Japan, I 2 : 1-11, March, issued 

 June, 1919) the detailed characters of this fungus are thoroughly 

 given in German. The disease was reported from Sapporo and 

 Hyogo, and is pretty serious in early summer months. The tem- 

 perature relations of the development of this fungus are also 

 given by Hemmi in Sapporo Norin Gakkwai-ho io 47 : 40, 49-52, 

 Dec, 1918.
