of the disease, diseased spots, on the trunk of tlie tree. ' That is 

 the way the tree looks when this disease attaeks the trunk. That 

 tree is practically dead. Tlie lower part, represented l»y Llie 

 lower lialf of tliat picture, shows some life. 



No. lil). In tlie course of two or three years we lind that the 

 bark begins to peel from the trunks of the trees. At the left we 

 have a tree which has only recently been killed, that is, within 

 a yejir or so pi^-haps, and the next one to it is one Avhich is a little 

 older, and the bark has begun to peel olf. The one which is so 

 prominent is probably the iirst in the group which was attacked 

 and killed, and the bai-k has ]>i'actically (lisappearcd fr(»m th(i 

 tree, so far as this view shows. 



No. 30. Now to consider the more general appearance of the 

 woodland, here is a view taken in Forest Park, IJrookl}!), alonj^ 

 the Boulevard. This is one of the main boulevards through the 

 Park, and any of you will have no dilliculty in picking out the 

 chestnuts. They are the most conspicuous objects. Not (uie of 

 the green trees you see there is a chestnut. 



No. 31. Here is another view taken, I think, at Port Jeffer- 

 son on Long Island. It may liave been a New Jersey view; I 

 am a little uncertain as to just where it was taken. That shows 

 the young growth coming up and becoming diseased, and shows 

 the effect along the hedgerow that we get from this disease. 



No. 32. This is one of the most southern stations which we 

 know for the disease. This view was taken in lr^outh-western Vir- 

 ginia, in Bedford county. The more prominent trees there have 

 lost the l)ark entirely. Tliose trees, T understand, have been cut 

 out and no longer exist. 



No. 33. If you want to see what tlie cliestnui disease can do 

 in a very nearly pure stand of chestnuls, lliere is a view wliicli 

 will show it. That was taken in Forest Park on Long Island. 

 Any of you who liave l»een in Forest Park will probably recognize 

 that view. 



No. 34. The next view, 1 think, is another view of a little 

 different ])ortion of the sanu' Park. These trees at the right ;ire 

 not chestnuts at all. This one up here, I believe, is a cheshiut 

 and there are some oaks there at the left. 



No. 35. T want io call your attention to the disjril)uti<»n of the 

 chestnni, and, (o do so, I waul (o call your allenlioii lo (his iiia|».
