Illinois A. 2. Miller (April IS) : Observations upon the biology and control 
of the common termite P. e t i cul i t erme s f la y i pes Sol. are being con- 
tinued by the State Natural History Survey. The chief offense thv.e 
far found responsible for these insects gaini cc b to tv.i L&ia i 
is wooden cellar window frames in direct contact with the soil, 
with unfilled mortar joints in foundation walls ranking a close 
second. From numerous reports, this insect would seem to be gen- 
erally distributed throughout the State with the greatest intensity 
prevailing through central and southern counties.
