The lack of fixity of such a structure as even the pycnidum throws doubtupon the validity of. such species as these and indicates the necessity of closecomparative study. II. Density of Mycelium : Zone formation of concentric zones is by many fungi one of the most conspic-uous characters shown in cultures. These zones may be due to any one ofmany structural characters of the colony; to varying density of spore niass-.
