Goodey, J. Basil, 1?37' Laboratory methods for work with plant and 

 soil nematodes. Tech. Bui. 2 Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and 

 Food. This third edition of a very useful manual is recommended to 

 all workers in phytonematology and particularly should be used by 

 those interested in the techniques of working id.th the cyst-forming 

 nematodes, a topic which is not dealt with jn any great detail in the 

 Plant Nematology Notes. The bulletin can be obtained in the U.S. from 

 the British Information Services, Ii5 Rockefeller Plaza, New York ?0,

 from: United Kindgom In.formation Offices, 27^ Albert Street, Ottawn; 

 119 Adelaide Street, West, Toronto j 1111 Beaver Hall Hill, Montreal.

 saving device for the collection of nematodes. Phytopathology U6 (12); 

 SlU-Skh- A workable and inexpensively constructed device for extrac- 

 tion of nematodes from soil and comminuted plant tissue. It uses 

 spray nozzles for washing and agitating the soil and a system of 

 inclined, graded sieves for selective trapping of different sized 



nematodes,

Tlie above two methods, although described for use with small-sized 

 soil or plant samples, can be used for cleaning residues containing
