Abstract
THE Ascomycete fungus, Epichloe typhina, has been recorded on eight species of Graminea in the neighbourhood of Aberystwyth during the past seven years. Although not a parasite of general economic importance in the district, the fungus has been decidedly destructive at the Station, entailing the loss of some valuable breeding plants. An investigation relative to the biology of the fungus started in 1922 has given some interesting results.
