Abstract
SOME laboratory experiments have been made to estimate the relative toxicity to body lice and to bed bugs of several new synthetic insecticides which have been produced on an industrial scale during recent years in Britain, Germany and the United States. They comprise the following types : (1) D.D.T. ; (2) certain analogues of D.D.T. ; (3) 'Gammexane' (4) chlorphenyl chlormethyl sulphone.
