By, Donald) Avy sPene cs. OUD, ume Mose. 
Cultural methods are those involving modification of agricul- 
tural practices; examples are given. Defensive control is dus- 
cussed under the heads of scarecrows, repellents, fences, and 
transfer of offending animals. Aggressive methods are illustrated 
by the New England field mouse control campaign which is fully 
described, particularly as to the safeguards employed.

BS5-119. The coordination of mosquito control with wildlife conservation, 
By Clarence Cottam. 6 pr., September 1938. 
This leaflet points out the special interest of the Biological 
Survey in wildlife, and the qualifications of its represemtatives 
for judging the effects of mosquito-control operations, Some of 
the latter are detrimental to wiidlife, an important national 
resource that must be maintained. It is held that there are sat-— 
isfactory means of mosquito control other than simple ditching 
and that being less injurious to wildlife they shouid be adopted. 
Biologicel control seems promising and should be further studied 
and tested. Instances of the coordination of mosquito control 
and wildlife conservation are cited, and suggestions made of 
desirable practices in that direction. ixcessive burning of 
marshes is condemed. "Nosquito-control workers and wildlife 
conservationists in the future should more closely coordinate 
their activitics, so as to accomplish the purvose of each without 
jeopardizing the interests of cither,"
