Erratum. — With reference to the article on '•Insecticides and 

 Fungicides'' which appeared in the October, 1921, issue of this Journal, it 

 is regretted that the percentage of hydrocyanic acid which sodium and 

 potassium cyanides are respectively capable of evolving was incorrectly stated 

 on p. 631. In the case of sodium cyanide the percentage of hydrocyanic acid 

 should read 54 instead of 56, and in the case of potassium cyanide 39'4 instead 

 of 43-7. 



Foot-a,nd-Mouth Disease- — No further outbreak of foot-and-mouth 

 disease has been confirmed in any part of Great Britain since that near 

 Sevenoaks, Kent, on 24th November last, referred to in the January issue of 

 the Journal. The measures adopted by the Ministry were successful in 

 preventing any extension of that outbreak, and the restrictions were with- 

 drawn as from 19th December, 1921.
