Abstract
A SMALL technical manual, prepared by Dr. E. D. Merrill of Harvard University, has been issued by the War Department of the United States, giving descriptions of the "Emergency Food Plants and Poisonous Plants of the Islands of the Pacific "(T.M. 10–420. Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.). Although the manual is intended "to aid the individual who becomes separated from his unit" to sustain himself, it has a wider field of interest.
