410 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
original drawings of the fungus Phytophthora meadii (Petch), page 524. He also 
points out that in addition to Phytophthora there was present on the rubber 
trees, sometimes associated with this fungus, a species of Fusariwm of which 
he found both the macro and microspores. He believes, however, that this 
latter fungus is secondary and may even lead a saphrophytic life in the latex 
remaining on the surface. However, in view of the parasitic nature of the genus, 
he believes the subject should be further investigated. 
A large number of other plants and of trees were examined in Liberia for 
evidences of parasitic infection or other infectious diseases, but no results of 
importance were obtained.
