tral Russia, and Tomsk in Siberia. At Tomsk Sphaerotheca 
mors-uvae K. & C. was also found as well as in one other locality. 
“Puccinia Ribis nigri acutae Klebahn” with teleutosporic stage 
on Cares acuta and C. stricta, except for Tomsk, was reported 
only from Northwestern Russia. Septoria ribis Desm. was de¬ 
structive in Kursk, Smolensk and Tchernigov governments. 
Red Currant. Sphaerotheca mors-uvae B. & C. was re¬ 
ported only from Tver, Northeast of Moscow. Anthracnose, 
Gloeosporium ribis Mont. & Desm. was rather rare, being in¬ 
jurious in Lifland, Smolensk and Kursk governments, in the last 
the plants having lost half of their leaves in July. 
Strawberry. Sphaerella fragariae Lasch occurred widely in 
Northwestern and Central Russia, as well as near Tomsk in Si¬ 
beria and in Transcaucasus. 
Raspberry. Rust, Phragmidium rubi-idaei Wint. is widely 
distributed throughout all Russia, but was more severe in 1903 
in Northwestern Russia and in Kursk government (South Cen¬ 
tral Russia). In the latter region two leaf spot diseases were 
also reported, viz., Septoria rubi West, and Phyllosticta fusco- 
zonata Thiim. 
Service berry (Sorbus aucuparia). The aecidial stage of 
Gymnosporangium juniperinum Wint., whose teleutospore stage 
occurs on Juniperus communis is often very destructive. It oc¬ 
curred in 1903 in the Central and Northwestern governments. 
VI. GRAPE. 
Mildew ( Plasmopara viticola Berl. & DeToni), occurs, ac¬ 
cording to the author, extensively in all vine growing regions 
of Russia and only assiduous treatment can save the vineyards 
from destruction. It was especially abundant in Southwestern 
Russia, from Kherson government westward, even the isolated 
vineyards being attacked, mostly for the first time, in 1903. In 
Caucasus and Crimea the disease caused immense injury. Un - 
cinula spiralis B. & C., as widely distributed, almost, as the 
foregoing is far from being destructive. It was especially serious 
in Transcaucasus and Crimea. White rot, Coniothyrium diplo- 
diella Sacc., was abundant in districts in Caucasus. Anthracnose, 
Gloeosporium ampelophagum Sacc., was abundant in Fergana 
Province, Turkestan, in the North of Crimea and in those vine¬ 
yards especially in Caucasus that were cultivated in the Georgian 
manner. Ccrcospora fuckelii Sacc. occurred in Samarkand Prov¬ 
ince, Turkestan and in Kherson government, Southern Russia, 
where it occasioned considerable injury. Phyllosticta vitis Sacc. 
occurred at Simferopol in Crimea. It was not very destructive. 
It differs from black-rot in this as well as in the character of 
the leaf-spots produced. Fusarium zavianum Sacc., known hith¬ 
erto only from Italy was found in 1903 in Erivan government,
