Tomato. Scptoria lycopcrsici Speg., discovered at one spot 
in Transcaucasus in 1901, was found in 1903 as far North as Ros- 
toff on Don and in many places in Caucasus. Phytophthora in- 
festans DB. was found on tomatoes near Kursk. Fruit spots 
caused by Cladosporium, Macrosporinm and Fusarium were found 
near Kursk and, except the third, in Transcaucasus. 
Egg-Plant. Phyllosticta hortorum Speg. was found on the 
leaves only, of egg-plants in Transcaucasus. 
Cabbage. Olpidium brassicae Dang., attacking the hypo- 
cotyl of seedling cabbage was reported from Lifland and Cau¬ 
casus. Plasmodiophora brassicae Wor. occurred throughout 
Northern Russia. Sclerotinia libertiana Fuck., causing rot of 
cabbage was reported from Smolensk government while Perono- 
spora parasitica Tub occurred to a limited extent in Kursk gov¬ 
ernment. 
Asparagus. The rust, Puccinia as par a gi DC., occurs in 
Russia as yet only sporadically but has been increasing from year 
to year. Leptosphaeria circinans Sacc. was injurious in Trans¬ 
caucasus. 
Pea. Erysiphe polygoni DC. was very prevalent in many 
parts of Russia. Uromyces pisi DB. was of more than usual 
severity in Smolensk, Lifland, Moscow and parts of Simbirsk 
governments. In much the same region Peronospora znciae DB. 
was also rather injurious. The pea anthracnose, Ascochyta pisi 
Lib., attacked chiefly the garden sorts, only rarely the field peas 
in the same general district. 
Bean. Uromyces appendiculatus Lev. occurred in Central 
and Northwestern Russia, Isariopsis griseola Sacc. in the same 
region and in Caucasus, and anthracnose, Gloeosporium linde- 
muthianum B. & C. in Caucasus. Of special interest is the occur¬ 
rence in Transcaucasus of Bacillus phaseoli E . F. Smith. 
Cucumber. Sc ole cotrichum melophthorum Prill. & Delacr. 
is sporadically found over a wide region of Russia but is easily 
controlled by Bordeaux mixture. Gloeosporium legenarium 
Sacc., found for the first time in Russia in 1901 was still con¬ 
fined in 1903 to the government of its discovery and one other, 
in North Central Russia. Peronospora (Plasmopara ) cubensis 
B. & C. was observed in Russia for the first time in 1902, in 
Tver government. In 1903 it was exceedingly destructive in 
Kursk government; while apparently the same disease destroyed 
the whole crop in Ussuri district in extreme Eastern Siberia. 
Pumpkin. Sphaerotheca humuli Burr, was widespread in 
Southern Russia. The perithecia are extremely rare, so that not 
until 1903 was Jaczewski able to find any and so determine the 
species. 
Watermelon. For the first time outside of North America 
the fungus Cercospora citrullina Cooke was found in Caucasus 
in 1903.
