Weir: Introduction of Wood-Destroying Fungi 65 



duce, it is reasonable to suppose that we may expect woocl-destroy- 

 ing fungi to find their way into this country. It would seem a 

 wise plan to make a careful study of the agents of decay directly 

 in the field where , they grow. This would yield a knowledge of 

 the fungous diseases in the uncultivated forests of exporting coun- 

 tries, and our inspectors could then do their work more in- 

 telligently.
