4. Halsted, B. D. Some Fungous Diseases of the Cranberry. Bulletin 
64 of Xew Jersey Agricultural College Experiment Station, Decem¬ 
ber 31, 1889. I. The Cranberry Gall Fungus (with figures). Dis¬ 
covery and history. Structure. Inspection of the bog. Belated spe¬ 
cies of plants infested. Comparison of galls on differents hosts. Study 
of infested bog. Becoinmendations for combating the gall. A new 
and as yet undescribed species of the genus Synchytrium ($. vaccinii , 
Thomas) is found to be the cause of this peculiarly local and destructive 
disease and its structure and life history, so far as possible in one 
year’s study, are carefully worked out. II. The Cranberry Scald 
(with figures). Distribution of the fungus. Description of microscop¬ 
ical characters. The results of the first year’s investigation of this 
obscure and in Xew Jersey, at least, extremely destructive disease, in 
which the mycelial threads of a spliseriaceous fungus are traced from 
the soil of the bog up through the stem and branches to the leaves 
and fruit where they mature their reproductive bodies. Preliminary 
suggestions are given as to the possible lines of treatment.

plate), Botanical Gazette; Yol. XY, Xo. 1, p. 8, January, 1890. Issued 
January 28,1890. A carefully prepared description of the parasitism 
of a species of Botrytis identical with that described by H. Marshall 
Ward in Ann. Bot., Xovember, 1888, as it appears in Bermuda upon 
Lilium Harrisii. The author suggests as a possible remedy for this 
threatening disease the planting of some other crop in alternate rows, 
which, with high and spreading foliage, will prevent the collection of 
dew upon the leaves, and thus check the fungus so dependent on moist¬ 
ure for its propagation.
