Abstract
IN NATURE of September 9, I noted that I had failed in July to find a single spot of Rhytisma acerinum on the foliage of sycamores at Corrour in Inverness-shire. Never having hitherto found sycamores free from the characteristic blotches caused by this fungus, I suggested that if Rhytisma is disseminated by wind-borne spores, the sycamores at Corrour might owe their escape from infection to the altitude of 1,200–1,400 ft. at which they are growing, besides being far distant from any other woodland.
