Abstract
THE British Museum (Natural History) has recently issued a second edition of a useful fifty-page pamphlet, entitled “Clothes Moths and House Moths” (British Museum (Natural History), London, S.W.7. 6d.). This pamphlet, which forms No. 14 (Economic Series) of the Museum publications, deals with the five British species of moths found in dwellings, outbuildings, etc., and the larvae of which are destructive to clothing, blankets, upholstered articles, fur, feathers, etc. Each species is described and its habits explained, and the accounts are accompanied by very clear photographic illustrations. The control of these insects by preventive and remedial measures is fully discussed.
