7. Penzic, Dr. O — “Studi Botanici Sugli Agrumi e Sulle Piante 
affini, Ann. d. Agria., 1887, Pl. XXXVIII, Figs. 3 and 4, p. 384, has 
figured and described Colletotrichum glaosporioides and so far as 
can be judged from the illustrations the fungus has every generic 
characteristic of that upon the bean. In this Funghi Agrumicoli, 
1882, p. 66, Fig. 90, Penzig described the same fungus as Vermi- 
cularia glaosporioides.” The above reference. is. quoted from the 
1887 report U.S. Department of Agriculture, p. 864.

Observations states that this fungus attacks water melon rinds. 
Gives external characters of the disease on the bean, conditions 
favoring the disease, botanical characters and suggestions for 
treatment. Notes the presence of setae in the acervuli and 
remarks that if these prove an organic part of the fungus the 
classification will probably pe changed to Colletotrichum Linde- 
muthianum. |

Little Silver, New Jersey, October, 1889. Refers to the article in. 
the 1887 report of the Unitea States Department of Agriculture, 
just quoted, and adds observations on the injury caused by the 
disease. States that field beans are subject to its attacks and no 
varieties of “string” beans are exempt, not even those with 
green pods. Notes again the presence of setae in the acervult 
“the presence of which separates our fungus from the genns 
Gleosporium under which it has heretofore been classed and 
places it in the genus Colletotrichum, the name here adopted.” 
Gives suggestions as to treatment. The article is illustrated with 
two figures, one showing a diseased pod, the other the micro- 
scopic appearance of the fruiting fungus.
