Fig. I sUghtly reduced ; 2, slightly mag. ; 3, highly mag. remaining portions of wood become darker in colour, and very hard. At a later stage the diseased wood presents the appearance of having been riddled by insects. Tuberculose, woody, crowded, looking like one much cracked specimen, under surface and glabrous margin brown- ish-black, substance distinctly stratified ; hymenium convex, cinnamon, then pale, primrose ; spores elliptical, ends sub- acute, 4"5X3-3'5 \*- Diseased patches should be cut out until sound wood is reached, and the wound at once coated with gas-tar.
