the fungus (Trichosphæeria Sacchari) has attacked the growing 
s, rendering it impossible on many estates to continue the 
t effecti 
together with 
exercising great care in selecting healthy plants and destroying all 
refuse of diseased canes. The greater part of the island is now 
planted in such varieties, and disease is much less prevalent. 
[Full information respecting the various diseases affecting 
sugar-cane in the West Gia is contained in the pages of the 
Kew Bulletin. The rind disease was described in Kew Bulletin, 
1893, p. 149. What was known as the root disease was discussed 
in Kew Bulletin, 1893, p. 347. These are probably different forms 
of one and the same disease. An account of the general treatment 
of fun and insect pests injurious to sugar-cane was published 
in Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 167 ; sepa ons article entitled “ Sugar- 
cane disease Barbados” appeared in Kew Bulletin, 1895, 
pp. 81-88. In this latter is given full iar in regard to 
local treatment of diseases of the sugar-cane. ]
