in abundance, and further observations made in 1901 and 1902 
indicate that it occurs more or less abundantly in a majority of 
_ the raspberry plantations throughout New York State. 
Concerning the prevalence of the disease in other states there 
is, as yet, very little definite knowledge. Through the kindness 
of Prof. A. D. Selby we have obtained positive evidence of its 
existence in Ohio. Dr. W. C. Sturgis, formerly botanist of the 
Connecticut Experiment Station, sent us specimens of the disease 
from Connecticut in 1900 with the statement that it was destruc- 
tive there. It has undoubtedly been observed in Wisconsin by 
Mr. W. C. Thro, a nursery inspector, who kindly sent us typical 
specimens of the disease collected at Janesville, Wisconsin, in 
1900. However, Mr. A. L. Hatch, an observant fruit grower of 
Sturgeon Bay, Wis., writes that he is unfamiliar with any rasp- 
berry disease of this description. Prof. F. D. Chester, of the 
Delaware Experiment Station, informs us that a destructive rasp- 
berry disease having the general symptoms of our cane blight 
occurred in Delaware in 1901; but the specimens which he sent 
bore none of the fungus (Coniothyrium) which is the cause of 
cane blight. It is possible that these specimens were cut off 
above the point of attack. 
It is believed that the following articles constitute the bibliog- 
raphy of the disease at the present time:
