Two Popular Articles on the Chestnut Disease^ 



It may be recalled that the chestnut disease, due to the fungus 

 Diaporthe parasitica Murrill, was described and discussed at the 

 October meeting of the Association in 1908 (Arthur Hollick and 

 Wm. T. Davis, Proc. Staten I. Assoc. 2: 125-129). Since that 

 time the devastation wrought by the fungus has attracted so much 

 attention that it jias reached the stage of general interest, and a 

 number of popular articles on the subject have appeared in maga- 

 zine and newspaper literature, occasionally with incidental refer- 

 ence to Staten Island.
