Abstract
THE note by M. S. Smith1 concerning the persistence of D.D.T. and ‘Gammexane' in soil is in conformity with the results of experiments carried out in Australia on the use of D.D.T. as a control of the scarab Aphodius howitti Hope, the larvæ of which infest pastures on the tablelands of south-eastern Australia.
