Abstract
IN this, the first of a new series of publications from Harvard University devoted to tropical biology and medicine, an account is given of the mosaic disease of sugar-cane as seen by the authors on the Soledad estate, Cuba. The disease is thought to be of long standing in Cuba (unlike most of the British West Indies), but, at Soledad, it is not appreciably reducing the yield and quality of the Crystalina cane ordinarily grown in the island. The extensive bibliography, and the plates (some in colour) showing mosaic and certain, other types of chlorosis in sugar-cane and maize, are useful features of the book.
