It can not be decided from an inspection of the graph whether there is a real agreement, in view of the large accidental variation present. How- ever, the correlation coefficient, + , five and one-half times its probable error, indicates a considerable correlation, not as good as was found for the Cbrticium strains, but sufficient to establish a strong presumption that observed differences in activity of the dif- i I A /•%.

The results in experiments Nos. 66 and 67 (on Pinus banksiana) are shown by the solid line, the strains beinj; arranged from left to right in the order of descending virulence indicated by the number of seedlings surviving in those experiments. The results from the use of the same strains in experiment No. 68 (on Pinus resinosa) are shown by the broken line. Such correlation as there is between the two curves (coefficient ±) goes to indicate a real difference in virulence between the different strains. The strains indicated by (he underscored numbers are original strains,-and those not underscored are reisolations from the original strains in earlier inoculation experiments on pine seedlings. ferent strains in these inoculation experiments were in part actually due to differences in the capacity of the strains.
