Abnormid root enlargements are due to the following 

 causes: (1) ;inimal ]iarasites, as in the nematode rorit- 

 gall (Fig, 2)44). the i;alls formed on the roots of the 

 grape liy the iihylloxera, and the galls frequently 

 oliserved oti tiie roots of our indigenous ceanothi; (2) 

 vegetable parasites, as in the elub-root and the crow-n- 

 gall (Fig. 2145); (31 mechanieal injury, causing exces- 

 sive callous development, roid-intrls, etc,
