Abstract
A USEFUL pamphlet entitled “Clothes Moths and House Moths”, by Major E. E. Austen assisted by Mr. A. W. McKenny Hughes, has recently been published by the British Museum (Natural History) as No. 14 in the Economic Series. The need for an authoritative publication, dealing with wide-spread pests of this kind, has been felt for a long time and the present pamphlet provides essential information as to the insects themselves and the best methods of dealing with them. Simple preventive measures are discussed as well as remedial treatments of a more drastic character. The pamphlet is well illustrated and includes the most up-to-date information available, free use being made of the valuable work carried out on these insects in recent years in both Germany and the United States. Applications for the pamphlet (price 6d.) made to the British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London, S.W.7, should be accompanied by a remittance, including postage (1d.).
