S ummary . Following results already published of the effect of inoculations on potato plants with Heterodera schachtii and Corticium Solani in 1928 and 1929, further pot experiments were carried out in 1930 with an additional organism Colletotrichum atramentarium. The results showed a definite effect, the fir& year of inoculation, in those pots where Heterodera schachtii was present. There was not enough evidence to support the view that the absence of Colletotrichum atramentarium in the 1928 inoculations accounted for the slight symptoms of potato sickness produced that year compared with results obtained in 1929 (the second year).
