virescens on Camellia japonica, Diplocarpon rosae on Rosa sp., Heterosporium 
echinulatu?n on Dianthus sp., Macrosporium sp., Meliola sp., Septobasidium sp.

Trinidad and on Lepidosaphes beckii on oranges from Cuba and Honduras; 
Sphaerostilbe sp. on unknown host on Gardenia florida (2) and camehia from 
Mexico. 
That there is a diversity of material, pests, and sources of origin in the airplane- 
interceptions records is shown by the fact that insects or diseases or both were 
found in, on, or with hosts belonging to 83 genera, that insects taken during air- 
plane inspections belonged to 325 genera and pathogens to 16 genera, and that 
the 22 countries of origin included countries in Europe, North America, South 
America, Central America, and Asia, as well as scattered islands in the Atlantic 
and Pacific Oceans.
