latum, not Helicobasidium Tanakae, which occurs on mulberry 

 trees in the vicinity of Tokyo (Sangyo Shimpo, Journ. of the 

 Silk Industry, Tokyo, 25 287 : 88, Feb. 1917). 



The last paper mentioned gives an interesting account of the 

 parasitic nature of both species, not merely epiphytically cover- 

 ing the surface of the host as reported before. The hyphae, 

 rather finer, measuring 3 fx across, almost colorless, attack the 

 outer layer of phelloderm, entering mostly through complementary 

 cells of lenticels, and there making conspicuous intracellular de- 

 velopment, which is shown by penetrated cell-walls and well- 

 nourished hyphae containing plenty of oil globules.

Pycnidia hypo-epidermal, conoid-pustulate, later erumpent, 

 irregular, black; walls indefinitely pseudo-parenchymatous, not 

 evidently differentiated from the matrix, forming pseudostromata, 

 multilocular ; ostiola simple, opening at the elevated portion of 

 the pycnidia; conidia usually ellipsoid, rarely ovoid or elongate, 

 nucleate with a comparatively large, greenish, oil-globule at each 

 end, first colorless and hyaline, later olivaceous, unicellular, 2.7- 

 3.8 X i-5~ 2.5 pi conidiophores covering the whole inner surface 

 of pycnidia, abundant, hyaline, filiform, 10-14 X 1 



On twigs of Morns alba.
