Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Timber Rot Caused by Lenzites Sepiaria Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a paper entitled "The Timber Rot Caused by Lenzitcs Scpiaria," by Dr. Parley Spaulding, Pathologist in the Office of Investigations in Forest Pathology of this Bureau. I recommend that it be published as Bulletin No. 214 of the series of this Bureau. This paper summarizes and brings up to date our knowledge concerning this serious wood-rotting fungus. It contains new information concerning its life history and gives practical methods of preventing its ravages. It is designed as a contribution toward our knowledge of the fundamental facts of forest pathology in this country. At the time the manuscript was first prepared there was no adequate publication upon this form of timber rot in any language; recently, however, such a paper, Falck's "Die Lenzitesfaule des Coniferenholzes," has been issued in Germany. So far as the two papers cover the same ground they agree in essentials, but vary in minor details. The fields and conditions are so different in the two countries that nothing else could be expected. Dr. Spaulding is indebted to the custodians of the following herbaria for the privilege of collecting data from their collections: Missouri Botanical Garden, University of Wisconsin, New York Botanical Garden, Now York State Museum, Harvard University, University of Vermont; also to Mr. E. T. Harper, for allowing similar work in his private herbarium. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
