E-457 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE DIVISION OF INSECTICIDE INVESTIGATIONS UBRAKV REFERENCES TO REVIEWS AND POPULAR ARTICLES ON DERRIS R. C. ROARK Washington, D. C. October 1938 E-457 ' .< October 1938 United States Department of Agriculture Bureau, of Entomology and Plant Quarantine REFERENCES TO REVIEWS AND POPULAR ARTICLES OK DERRIS By R. C. Roark, Division of Insecticide Investigations The literature on derris and rote none has grown to huge size. Much of it contains no original data but comprises reviews or abstracts of other publications. There are also many popular articles, editorials, contributions to encyclopedias and handbooks, addresses, radio talks, annual reports of various institutions, consular reports, and short notes which refer briefly or incidentally to derris but give no original infor- mation. The student of insecticides cannot wholly ignore this material, and yet on account of its second-hand nature it does not deserve the at- tention that original contributions to the subject should have. In order to preserve as nearly complete a record as possible of the derris literature and at the same time snve the time of investiga- tors, the writer has compiled the following list of references to reviews and popular articles arranged in chronological order: 1837 Christy, T.
