Abstract A description is provided for Nectria coccinea. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Fagus sylvatica (beech) DISEASE: Beech bark disease, in association with beech scale (Cryptococcus fagi[Cryptococcus fagisuga]); this is the most serious disease of beech in Britain. It has also been reported as pathogenic to Ganothus velutinus (49, 1677). The perithecia are also frequently found on many other hard wood and coniferous trees. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: In association with beech bark disease it is only known in Europe (Denmark, France, UK) and eastern North America. It is common in northern Europe on other hosts probably as a saprophyte and it has also been recorded in Australia, Hong Kong, India and New Gledonia. TRANSMISSION: Ascospore discharge is associated with wet conditions (54, 5092). The ascospores are disseminated in air and penetration of the host is through bark fissures or bark wounds caused by scale insects (54, 5560).

Abstract A description is provided for Isthmiella faullii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Apparently confined to Abies balsamea. DISEASE: Causes a needle blight of Abies balsamea. According to Darker (1932), it 'is the commonest and most destructive of the Hypodermataceae on Abies balsamea in eastern North America'. It is particularly damaging to seedlings and juvenile plants. In northern Ontario, from where the disease was originally identified, infection occurs during the summer, but signs of the disease do not appear until the following spring, when needles become brown and conidiomata develop, conidia being discharged in July, and shortly after this ascomata begin to form, maturing in July of the following year. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Reported from Canada: Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and USA: Michigan and New Hampshire. TRANSMISSION: Through air dispersal of ascospores, which directly infect the leaves (Darker, 1932).

Abstract A description is provided for Diplocarpon earliana. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Fragaria. DISEASE: Strawberry leaf scorch. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Throughout temperate zones and extending into the tropics in Malaysia, Taiwan, Australia and New Guinea; Africa (Rhodesia, Zambia, South Africa, Canary Islands); Europe (except Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Russia); North America (Canada, USA, Jamaica); South America (Brazil, Uruguay); Asia (Armenia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, W. Malaysia). Appears to be most important in USA and eastern Europe (CMI Map 452, ed. 1, 1969). TRANSMISSION: Mainly by splash dispersal of conidia from infected leaves. Ascospores appear to be unimportant and in some regions (Poland; 46, 2074) where the perfect state has not been found.
