EFFECT OF THE ENDROT FUNGUS ON CRANBERRIES 
55° C. To promote rapid drying, it was necessary to puncture each berry 
in several places with a large pin, as the sound epidermis of the cranberry 
is nearly water-proof. The dried berries were weighed as air-dry, pulver- 
ized in a porcelain mortar, and preserved in tight bottles for subsequent 
analysis. 
The charge for sugar and acid was mashed in a porcelain mortar, and 
the mass was then washed into a 500 cc. volumetric flask with about 300 
cc. of water by the aid of a wash bottle and a short-stemmed funnel. The

flask was then set on the steam bath for about one hour, and the contents 
was repeatedly shaken so that the whole mass formed a thick liquid. After 
cooling the flask and contents to room temperature, the flask was filled to 
the 500 cc. mark and thoroughly shaken. The whole mass was thrown on 
a fluted filter large enough to contain it, and the funnel was covered with a 
watch glass while the filtrate was collected in a flask. The first 20 to 30 cc. 
of filtrate was thrown away.
