Abstract
MR. J. RAMSBOTTOM in a letter in NATURE of June 20, p. 927, states that little or nothing has been done in Britain concerning investigations on tree mycorrhiza, and that no one has been wholly engaged in its study. Mr. Ramsbottom has overlooked the fact that Dr. M. C. Rayner has been engaged whole-heartedly on these problems for several years, having previously given much attention to the mycorrhiza of other plants. At the Johannesburg meeting of the British Association in 1929, a research committee was appointed to facilitate Dr. M. C. Rayner's whole-time researches on “Mycorrhiza in Relation to Forestry”, and this Committee was reappointed in 1930. Valuable results have been obtained in these investigations, which will be published in due course.
