Since this place, weakened by the wilt, contained only 109 eggs with 

 apparently living embryos to the cluster, almost 4 clusters were neces- 

 sary to equal the size of a normal cluster. The number of fresh egg 

 clusters, which were estimated at 60, thus must be reduced to about 

 20 clusters. The number of apparently living eggs was therefore de- 

 creased, as the result of Flacherie, to about 10 per cent. 



The second place which was selected in West Boxford for experi-

 acre. Most of the trees are oaks about thirty years of age, mixed
