Hewitt (C. G.). The Use of the Aeroplane in Entomological Work.— 



Agric. Gaz. Canada, Ottawa, vi, no. 10, October 1919, p. 877, 1 fig. 



It is pointed out that aeroplanes can be used with great advantage 

 in carrying out surveys of mosquito breeding places, and the difhculty 

 of mapping out swampy areas and other haunts quickly and accurately 

 is solved by aeroplane photographic .surveys. In forest protection 

 work also aircraft should be useful in making surveys of timber that 

 is being killed or has already been destroyed by forest insects ; this 

 at present is often a very arduous and lengthy task.
