Part II, Inoculation — experiments with the conidia of 
E. graminis on species of Bromus, is a continuation of the article 
by Ernest S. Salmon, on Erysiphe graminis DC. and its adaptive 
parasitism within the genus Bromus. This important and ex¬ 
tended work is given in detail and reference to the original only 
can be made here, (Ann. Mycologici, 2:307-343, Juli 1904), but 
a sentence or two may be transcribed: Now it is possible, by a 
cultural method I have lately described — in which the leaf to 
be inoculated is injured by the removal of a minute piece of leaf 
tissue — to demonstrate that the immunity shown by a plant 
against a certain fungus disappears when the normal vitality of the 
leaf is interferred with .... It is possible also that the 
susceptibility ultimately shown by these plants of B. racemosus 
on being kept for several weeks in the laboratory, may be ac¬ 
counted for in some cases by the fact that the health of the 
plants became gradually impaired by the unfavorable condition 
of growth. 
The Journal of Mycology for July 1904 contained the 
following articles: Morgan — New Species of Pyrenomycetes;
