further investigation. At present it appears to be following the 

 coast. On woodland in several localities in Penns^ivania its existence 

 can be shown, yet it can not at present be considered a discouraging 

 menace. On the other hand should the disease s])read from tree to 

 tree as is now the case in certain localities in New York and New 

 Jersey, every available measure should be ad()])ted to prevent the 

 pro])agation of spores by cutting the trees and burning all infected 

 bark.
