 issued by the Government of Palestine, 



In the meantime he published in the Bulletin of Entomological 

 Research a short but important article called "A Note on the Utility 

 of Aerial Photography in Entomological Field Work." He had found, 

 in his efforts to wipe out certain scale insects on Citrus trees, that it 

 was often A-ery difficult to .locate Citrus trees in dififerent gardens. 

 From the airplane, however, these trees were readily located and 

 mapped for an entire district. This, by the way, is the same service 

 that the airplane did for the United States Department of Agriculture 

 in its efTorts to locate hidden cotton fields in clearings in the woods 

 at a time when a search was being made for possible infestations by 

 the pink bollworm. 



In 1923, Dr. F. S. Bodenheimer reported, in the Bulletin of the 

 Royal Entomological Society of Egypt, on scale insects from El- 

 Arish (Sinai) and Transjordania, and the next year he was appointed 

 Entomologist to the Zionist Organization Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, publishing his first bulletin in July of 1924. It was entitled 

 " The Coccidae of Palestine." During the same year he published 

 a leaflet on the leopard moth, and others on the clothes moths and 

 upon general measures against insect pests in field and garden. I had 

 the pleasure of meeting him at the International Zoological Congress 

 in Budapest in 1927, where he read a strikingly interesting paper on 

 the so-called " manna " of the Children of Israel in the desert. I have 

 previously referred to Doctor Bodenheimer's remarkable two-volume 

 work published recently in Berlin on (translated) " Material for the 

 History of Entomology before Linne." Doctor Bodenheimer is now 

 connected with the Hebrew University at Jerusalem. He is obviously 

 a man of training and culture. 



Some very notable work in medical entomology has been done in 

 Palestine since the World War, especially in the way of relief from 

 malaria, a disease which seems to have held the people of Palestine 

 in subjection for hundreds of years. This excellent work is described 

 and summarized in a just-published book entitled " The Epidemiology 

 and Control of Malaria in Palestine " by Israel J. Kligler, Director, 

 Department of Hygiene, PTebrew University, Jerusalem (University 

 of Chicago Press, 1930).
