Dr. Harkness spoke on the injury done to oysters planted in the bay 

 by whelks, which were probably introduced with them. 



Dr. Behr made some remarks on the fish and Crustacea, found in artesian 

 wells in Algeria, donated by Maurice Chaper. Dr. Eisen stated that simi- 

 lar fish were found in artesian wells in Kern County. 



Dr. Behr presented specimens of diseased peach roots and the President 

 called attention to a recent report on the root-knot disease, published by 

 the Department of Agriculture, wherein it is claimed that the disease is 

 the work of Auguillula. In the discussion which followed, this theory 

 was repudiated by Dr. Harkness and Dr. Behr, they claiming that the 

 Anguillula does not produce the disease, but finds in the diseased tissue 

 a suitable nidus.
