Abstract
THE “List, of Common Numes of British Plant Diseases” compiled by a sub-committee of the British Mycological Society's plant pathology committee has been accepted by the principal societies and institutes in Great Britain which need to use such names. A certain number of emendations to the second edition are published in the Society's Transactions (23, Pt. 3; October 1939). No major correction appears to be necessary; the changes are such as give increased exactitude about the authorities for the names adopted, or which remove doubts previously felt about the nature of some diseases. Reasons and references are given for the more significant changes, and any mycologist interested further in this standard nomenclature may obtain additional information from Dr. G. C. Ainsworth, secretary of the Plant Pathology Committee, Imperial Mycological Institute, Kew, Surrey.
