DISEASES OP COCOA-NUT PALMS 
The attention of cultivators of cocoa-nuts in the West India 
Islands has been called of late to the occurrence of a serious disease 
.known as the ‘bud-rot.’ Mention has already been made of it in the 
Agricultural News (Vol. IV, pp. 299 and 369), and all the informa-

Indian Bulletin (Vol. VI, pp. 307-21) in the hope of assisting cocoa-

nut palms, which were reported to be prevalent there. 
The Trinidad Royal Gazette , of February 14, 1907, publishes for 
general information a report by Mr. STOCKDALE on this visit, in 
which are described three different diseases attacking cocoa-nut 
palms in Trinidad. The three diseases have been called the ‘ Root 
disease,’ the ‘Leaf disease,’ and the ‘ Bud- rot.' - The following- 
extracts have been taken from the report

distributed, and is causing considerable loss in some districts. 
Root Disease. 
This is apparently caused by a fungus, a species of Botryodiplodia , 
and may be recognized by the yellowing and hanging down of the 
leaves, by the disorganized condition of the cortex of the roots, by
