Abstract
1. The paper deals with nematodes of the genus Aphelenchus causing diseases in cultivated plants. A list of these, with the main pathological conditions to which they give rise, is set out on page 144.2. Each parasite and the disease due to it is dealt with, and particulars are given concerning the structure of the worm, together with the symptoms and biology in each case.3. A general discussion on the problem of the appropriate treatment of these diseases is given, and the suggestion is made that some form of heat treatment of infective soils is likely to give the best results, owing to the fact that comparatively low temperatures are lethal to the parasites.
