The Strumella Disease of Oak and Chestnut Trees. By F. D. 

 Heald and R. A. Studbalter. Bulletin 10, Department of Forestry 

 of Pennsylvania. Harrisburg. 1914. Pp. 15. 



This disease of the oaks and chestnut is caused by Strumella 

 coryneoidea Sacc. & Wint., an old species which has not previ- 

 ously been accused of being a parasite. The disease is widely 

 distributed and is believed to be a serious menace to the trees. 

 The writers hope that their "brief description will aid and stimu- 

 late further observations and study in this interesting tree disease, 

 so that we may have more complete information as to its range 

 and prevalence."
