After Longyear. This is one of the common causes of pomaceous fruit rots and of leaf spot in the United States. Its occurrence in leaf spots was noted in 1898," and in 1902 Clinton *° recognized it as their cause. Cultures were obtained from diseased leaf spots bj^ Scott & Rorer "° and by inoculations the ability of the fungus to cause spots was definitely proved. This fungus was reported by Paddock ^^ as the probable cause of apple twig blight and canker and cross inoculation between twigs and fruit proved the identity of the fungus on these two parts. The mycelium is very dark or olivaceous and abounds in the rotten pulp of affected fruit, also in diseased bark, and is even.
