European and American herbaria is so immature that the iden- 

 tity of this species with B. radicalis remains doubtful. 



The author thinks the chestnut bhght fungus was introduced 

 from Europe and has spread from a central point, largely through 

 the agency of borers or other animals which injure the trees.

The examples given are for the information of officers who 



have in the past made errors in calculating the yield.

An unsigned article advocates running the 

 Forest Indian Forest Service on a different financial 



Loans footing because middlemen's profits are eat- 



ing into the legitimate revenue. When a 

 corporation needs money it borrows so why shouldn't the Forest 

 Service, when it comes to developing new resources. "Such 

 loans might take the form of short term borrowings for a particu- 

 lar object or they might extend over considerable periods, as the 

 case might be." The writer estimates in Burma with depart- 

 mental exploitation the net revenue would increase from $2,- 

 200,000 to $2,700,000. The arguments presented are by no 

 means conclusive.
