Hymettus Honey — Sacbrood. 



Two errors were made in the March Review which need correct 

 ingf. Hymettus, according to correspondents, is a mountain i 

 Greece and not a flower. I understood it the other way from ^Ii 

 \\'agner. and not having l^een in Greece lately may be pardoned for 

 the mistake. 



The circular on Sacbrood was written by G. F. White. AI. D., 

 Ph. D.. and not by Dr. Howard, as stated in Marcli number. Neither 

 is it a nev/ disease, but rather an old disease that we formerly knew 

 under a different name.
