Remarks Soil was from Maine, but during examination, cysts (in a dish) from Long Island NY were mistakenly thought by Ron Myers to be part of the Maine sample he was working on; see attached letter. Globodera was probably from Long Island NY, not Maine. See G. rostoc. records for further info. All rostoc. material was in poor condition.
