* Potato Eelworm.—The careful researches of Prof. Geo. F. Atkinson, Biologist 
■of the Agricultural Experiment Station, Auburn, Alabama, U.S.A., published in the 
“ Science Contributions ” of that station for Dec., 1889, and recently received in 
England, have shown one species of Nematode or Eelworm which is injurious to 
Potatoes in America to be the Heterodera radicicola (Greef.), Mull. Investigations 
as to the kinds of Eelworms to be found infesting Potato-tubers in Britain in the 
manner described in note, p. 8, or causing gall-swellings on the roots, would be 
serviceably interesting.
