Rese�a del editor

The illustrations have been chosen with the idea of enabling the planter to identify the different diseases. They represent typical stages of the various fungi or diseases, but, as fungi are usually highly variable, one cannot figure all stages without making the cost of the book prohibitive. A brief summary of the diseases described, with references to the illustrations, has been added to each of the principal chapters. These, it is hoped, will prove of service in a rapid survey for purposes of identification. A chapter on the principal pests of Hevea has been included. Up to the present, insect pests of Hevea, with the exception of the notorious Termes gestroi, have proved of minor importance in comparison with fungus diseases. The aim of a book of this kind is not only to provide the planter with a means of identifying and dealing with known diseases, but also to enable him to decide whether any observed abnormal appearance or disease is unrecorded and consequently ought to be brought to the notice of a mycologist. Rubber cultivation demands constant vigilance in this respect, since, because of the greater value of the individual plant and the unique method of obtaining the crop, an outbreak of disease may have a more serious result than in the case of such products as tea, sugar, etc. That the future of plantation rubber is largely dependent upon the effective combating of disease has been repeatedly emphasised; and it is the duty of rubber planters, and those responsible for the management of rubber estates, to resist any attempt to minimise the importance of that aspect of rubber cultivation and research.
